Sažetak
Although there are many empirically validated factors that might influence language, cognitive and socioemotional development of children with hearing loss, parental involvement (Moeller, 2000 ; Watkin et al., 2007) and their perspectives on their deaf and hard of hearing children’s diagnosis and intervention process is one that is important but often under examined. The aim of this paper is to explore parental experience and perspectives on the quantity and quality of counseling regarding hearing loss diagnosis, communication options and habilitation approaches using a questionnaire and structured interviews with parents of DHH children. Questionnaire data of fifteen parents were obtained. Seven parents participated in video- recorded interview. Preliminary findings suggest that families did not receive complete information regarding understanding of hearing loss, and technical and functional aspects of hearing devices. Also, almost all families experienced non-neutral counseling regarding communication options, with the emphasis on development of listening and speaking skills only. Finally, most families did not make intervention decisions based on informed choice.
