Let's continue the conversation- send me a text! Stress is a part of every parenting/family journey. This parenting stress can be compounding when a child is deaf/hard of hearing. Join me in a conversation with Dr. Ivette Cejas, licensed psychologist, Associate Professor at the University of Miami Ear Institute, and Director of Family Support Services at the University of Miami Children’s Hearing Program. Dr. Cejas is a well-known researcher in the area of pediatric hearing loss. She specializes in psychoeducational evaluations for deaf or hard of hearing children, as well as mental health therapy for this population. She is on the Board of Directors at AG Bell and is a member of the American Cochlear Implant Alliance. In this podcast, Dr. Cejas shares the top stressors parents are faced with, a tool to help measure parenting stress specific to cochlear implants, and ways to support self-efficacy. She also discusses the importance of including professionals such as psychologists and social workers to support the whole child.
