A call to action: more parent-child interaction research within daily routines!

WHAT IT FOUND

A systematic review found almost no research on parent-child interactions during daily routines for deaf children.

Current evidence focuses on play and reading. This paper calls for new studies to fill this gap but provides no clinical findings or recommendations for practice.

What this paper is

This paper is a systematic review and call to action regarding parent-child interaction (PCI) in families with deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) children. It identifies a significant gap in the literature, finding only one eligible study that examined PCI during daily routines (as opposed to play or book reading). Because there is insufficient data to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of interventions or the nature of interactions in these settings, the paper does not report clinical findings. It instead proposes a research agenda for future studies.
