Before we start talking about conference sessions, speakers, and abstract submissions... let's start with one simple question.

What is EHDI?

Everything we do at the National EHDI Conference comes back to one shared mission: ensuring that infants and children with hearing loss are identified early and receive comprehensive, timely intervention and support services.

📍 As we look ahead to the 2027 National EHDI Conference in Bellevue, Washington, we'll be sharing more about the people, programs, and partnerships that make EHDI possible.

🎤 Breakout and Poster Abstract submissions are open through September 28! If you have research, innovative ideas, successful programs, or practical experiences to share, we'd love to hear from you.

💗 Today is International Self-Care Day!

Self-care doesn't always mean taking a day off. Sometimes it's as simple as taking a deep breath, drinking a glass of water, stepping outside, or giving yourself a compliment.

💡 Conference Takeaway #2

One message from the 2023 EHDI Conference continues to resonate:
"Language access in the early years can have such a lasting impact on a child's language and cognitive skills." — Day Al-Mohamed

Early language access helps build communication, learning, relationships, and lifelong opportunities. It's a reminder that every child deserves access to the support they need from the very beginning.
