To achieve these aims, the EHDI NTRC provides programs and professionals with:
- Technical assistance
- Training
- Access to information about evidence-based practices
- Partnership opportunities with national EHDI systems of care organizations and other key stakeholders, including those that represent and/ or serve families with children who are DHH.
