This information outlines the importance of the 1-3-6 Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) steps and knowing whether or not children can hear by screening by 1 month, diagnosis by 3 months and enrollment in Early Intervention (EI) by 6 months. An Infographic was created to highlight each part of the 1-3-6 steps including links to important resources. In addition, Hands & Voices conducted a survey that gathered parent and caregiver feedback for children ages 0-5 that have been identified with a permanent hearing loss and their awareness of EHDI programs and enrollment into EI.
