This Call to Action is the eighth and final article in this special issue on Family-Centered Early Intervention (FCEI) for children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) and their families, or FCEI-DHH. Collectively, these articles highlight evidence-informed actions to enhance family well-being and to optimize developmental outcomes among children who are DHH. This Call to Action outlines actionable steps to advance FCEI-DHH supports provided to children who are DHH and their families. It also urges specific actions to strengthen FCEI-DHH programs/services and systems across the globe, whether newly emerging or long-established. Internationally, supports for children who are DHH are often siloed, provided within various independent sectors such as health/medicine, education, early childhood, and social and disability services. With this Call to Action, we urge invested parties from across relevant sectors to join together to implement and improve FCEI-DHH programs/services and systems, build the capacity of early intervention (EI) Providers and other professionals, extend research regarding FCEI-DHH, and fund EI supports, systems, and research, all with the aim of advancing outcomes for families and their children who are DHH.

以家庭为中心的聋哑/听力障碍早期干预 (FCEI-DHH)：行动呼吁。


本号召性用语是本期特刊的第八篇也是最后一篇文章，内容涉及针对耳聋或听力困难儿童 (DHH) 及其家人的以家庭为中心的早期干预 (FCEI) 或 FCEI-DHH。总的来说，这些文章强调了以证据为依据的行动，以增强家庭福祉并优化 DHH 儿童的发展成果。该行动呼吁概述了推进向 DHH 儿童及其家人提供 FCEI-DHH 支持的可行步骤。它还敦促采取具体行动，加强全球范围内的 FCEI-DHH 计划/服务和系统，无论是新出现的还是长期建立的。在国际上，对 DHH 儿童的支持往往是孤立的，由各个独立部门提供，例如健康/医学、教育、幼儿教育以及社会和残疾服务。通过这一行动呼吁，我们敦促相关行业的投资方共同实施和改进 FCEI-DHH 计划/服务和系统，建设早期干预 (EI) 提供商和其他专业人员的能力，扩大有关 FCEI-DHH 的研究，并资助 EI 支持、系统和研究，所有这些都是为了改善 DHH 家庭及其子女的成果。
