Following the initial implementation of universal newborn hearing screening initiatives currently required by law in most states, there is a need to move beyond the hospital follow-up to the delivery of services and support for children identified with hearing loss. A cadre of trained providers is needed to deliver these services. In order to provide training to professionals from varied backgrounds and disciplines expediently, one state provided training in a multidisciplinary context. Such an approach encourages broader follow-up, consistency across providers, and an enhanced multidisciplinary perspective for fostering collaboration across public and private providers. Results of trainees' self-assessments of their level of preparedness on specific objectives prior to and after eight training sessions are reported in this article. Significant increases were evident in participants' reported knowledge of and perceived ability to implement identified objectives. Qualitative results illustrated that participants gained knowledge of intervention strategies and techniques and expressed a desire for further training in this area.
