SUMMARY:

The daily activities of the family of children with hearing impairment are a strong factor in their development, as they are the most effective agents in continuously supporting the child's development. There is, however, a lack of evidence on specific intervention models for parental training for families, especially those aimed at validating specific intervention materials. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop and validate games for parental training for families of children with hearing impairment. This is a mixed method, documentary, methodological study (through the development of educational games and their validation). For the development of the games, an integrative review was carried out to systematize the evidence on parental training programs for families of children with disabilities, which is presented as Article 1. After studying the programs and research in the area, a set of of games and a guide consisting of multipurpose cards, a route game and a guide for families on aspects related to the development of children with hearing impairment and the role of the family with facilitating strategies. Such games were evaluated by 6 experienced judges in auditory rehabilitation, as well as by 2 families of children with hearing impairment who have already been discharged from rehabilitation, using the Health Educational Content Validation Instruments (HECVI) and Educational Games Validation, adapted for the purpose of this research. After the content and appearance validation stage of the materials by the judges, with 95% agreement on the adequacy of the material, it was used in a short-term pilot intervention, consisting of 5 sessions, 1 in a group setting and 4 individual sessions, pre- and post-intervention design, for 4 families of hearing-impaired children from a hearing health service, in which pre- and post-interaction and their satisfaction with the intervention were evaluated, presented as Article 2. The results showed that the games were validated and comprise a kit with manual and rules for the 2 games, 21 multipurpose cards and a route game with 25 situational cards to reflect on how to optimize communication with children with hearing impairment. Although no reliable change or clinical significance was found in the inferential analysis of the interactions, in the qualitative analysis an improvement was observed for 3 of the four families, in particular, in the variables: responds to the child's communication, enthusiasm in the interaction, tuned interaction and first uses the voice to attract the child's attention. All families participating in the intervention using the games were satisfied. It was concluded that the game package was developed and validated, called: “Game of Tuning”, which proved to be a promising auxiliary tool for parental coaching in pediatric auditory rehabilitation services.
