Phase 2 informational guidance includes which of the following?

• A. Meeting other families, Deaf adults or cultural activities
• B. Understanding basic parameters of hearing loss
• C. Phase 1 readiness for basic information
• D. Connections to amplification options

Answer: (A)

Phase 2 informational guidance centers on connecting families with the Deaf community and culture, including meeting other families and Deaf adults and engaging in cultural activities. This exposure helps families see real-life communication approaches, language options, and how Deaf culture fits into daily life, which supports social participation and building a supportive network beyond clinical information. While learning basic parameters of hearing loss or discussing amplification options is important, those topics are typically addressed earlier or in different contexts; Phase 2 focuses on community connections and cultural context to inform decisions in a broader, lived way.
