Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify website information related to hearing loss, hearing technology, and spoken language development available to Spanish-speaking parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH).
Design: An exploratory, descriptive design was used to determine the presence or absence of parent education information on a variety of websites.
Study Sample: The study explored Internet resources provided by national, state, and parent support organizations in the United States.
Results: A total of 53 organization websites were identified that had information for parents of DHH children learning spoken language, eight of which were international. Fifteen content areas were reviewed for each website. Of the 53 websites, 25 had information in Spanish.
Conclusions: Results of the current study revealed website resources are often fragmented and less in depth for Spanish speaking parents with children who are DHH learning spoken language.
