Explaining how OAE screening works
Conducting OAE screenings on young children
Engaging in appropriate follow-up steps when a child does not pass the screening
Tracking children through the screening and follow-up protocol
Accessing additional tools and resources that support quality improvement

Topics for the webinar include:

  • Developing an OAE screening program
  • How to participate in the online curriculum
