Program Checklist
This checklist may be used to determine how well EHDI programs are meeting the
Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH) recommendations. The categories JCIH
designated as having key updates in the 2007 Position Statement define the areas
for examining existing programs. For each “No” answer, a review of that program
component is suggested to determine the feasibility of modifying the current
program to reach the recommended guidelines.
