Abstract

This paper reviews selected literature relating to the medical condition and learning consequences of Otitis Media in Aboriginal children in remote communities and reports on a research project which aimed to develop a whole community approach to the problem. The model brings together health, education, medical professionals, paraprojessionals and the community in a structured and cohesive program based on the school as the lead and central agency. The special significance of community and paraprofessionals, for example teacher aides is considered.
