Abstract	The effects of home-based programming for infants and young children with hearing impairments and their families were studied, with a focus on the SKIHI program, which includes identification/screening, home visits, support services, parent advisors, and a program management system. The study analyzed data on 5,178 children (ages birth to 5) with hearing impairments from the SKIHI National Data Bank. Study objectives were to determine: the demographic characteristics of children receiving home-based intervention and effects of these factors on child achievement; the effectiveness of identification procedures for hearing loss; and aspects of the home intervention. To assess program effectiveness, consideration was given to such factors as: the length of time of the intervention and the frequency of home visits; the types of communication methodology employed; types of home services provided (e.g., speech and hearing therapy); child outcomes (e.g., posttests of receptive and expressive language ability); parent outcomes (e.g., learning auditory skills); and subsequent child placement. Appendices include a SKI*HI data sheet and instructions. (Contains 93 references.) (SW)
