While fathers play an increasingly important role in today’s families, there is an imbalance of research regarding fathers of children with disabilities compared to mothers. Modest research with mothers of children who are deaf/hard of hearing (d/hh) exists; however, almost no research is available specific to fathers of that population. With the advent of newborn hearing screening, the number of children who have hearing loss being identified within the first six months of life has significantly increased. Thus, the number of fathers participating in early intervention services has also increased. Further study of fathers’ role in early intervention for their children who are d/hh is needed in order for professionals to gain awareness and skills in facilitating greater father involvement and subsequent improved outcomes for their children. This qualitative study examined the perceptions of North Dakota fathers of children who are d/hh. The research questions were, 1) How do fathers of children who are d/hh describe their role in the early intervention team? and 2) What do fathers’ experiences in the early intervention process tell professionals about family-centered practice? Participants for this study were fathers, either biological, adoptive or step, and included men who play a significant role in the life of a child who is deaf or hard of hearing (d/hh). Qualitative interview procedures for in person and modified for electronic media were used (Rubin & Rubin, 2005). Participant responses were collectively analyzed through inductive qualitative techniques to identify themes, central issues and potential recommendations to enhance professional practice. Member checking was employed for clarification of data. Results of this study are translated into actionable steps professionals can take to improve the involvement of fathers in the early intervention of their children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
