| dc.description.abstract | The deaf and hard-of-hearing communities have been commonly misrepresented, and their voices omitted within research. Thus, this critical scoping review begins with a literature review to capture the life experiences of deaf/hard-of-hearing children and their hearing caregivers/parents. I will dismantle the concept of audism, and particularly the trauma experienced within the community. The overall aim is to fill the knowledge gap regarding comprehensive, child-centred social services and interventions that offer holistic assistance, specifically considering families’ intersecting identities (e.g., socioeconomic status and race). This review will examine thirteen scholarly articles that highlight twelve different social services through an intersectional lens. Doing so will uncover whether current programs provide adequate support to deaf/hard-of-hearing children, regardless of their culture or family status. Important conclusions note that although there is an increased focus on programing that build on family’s strengths- such as family centred early intervention- there is a clear implementation gap in the widespread availability of holistic programs for deaf/hard-of-hearing children. This review also notes that families from higher socioeconomic statues are more likely to have access to more support than those from marginalized communities. It is considered how the programs' effects on families might be amplified through widespread implementation. Along with highlighting some study limitations, this review offers some ideas for additional research. | |
