Thanks, mom! I had never heard of CHARGE syndrome prior to working on this project, either, but am glad that I know about it now! Thanks for all of your support!

I am so impressed with your topic selection, your research and your findings. During my 25 years as an early childhood intervention specialist, I have worked with children who have had some rare conditions but CHARGE syndrome is new to me. Thanks for sharing your results!

Laura!! Thank you so much!
My most surprising finding, without a doubt, was the significant relationship between one’s familiarity with the guidelines for cochlear implantation in CHARGE syndrome and clinicians’ confidence in their ability to provide hearing care and counseling. This wasn’t something I had planned on doing a statistical test on, but my second reader suggested it, and I am so glad she did! It is super exciting to know that having access to information does have a positive impact in the field, and is something that I think current students and clinicians can benefit from having access to.
I was a bit surprised by the variability in outcomes. The literature had said there was a wide spectrum but I definitely was not expecting a participant to respond to a question about auditory outcomes by saying that one of their patients had a normal ear! I think it attests to the flexibility one must have as a clinician and the importance of individualized care.
