Interdisciplinary Collaboration Research List

Interdisciplinary collaboration means the partners in a child's care, including early intervention, medical, education, audiology, and Deaf community systems, working together as one coordinated team. Use this research list to ground that work in evidence. It summarizes studies showing why coordinated practice matters for Deaf and hard of hearing infants and toddlers, and how aligned, integrated services improve consistency, language access, and developmental outcomes for children and families. Use it to support leadership decisions, build integrated service models, or guide staff learning.
