Our parent Infant Early Intervention Program serves families with deaf and hard of hearing children from birth to three years old. Early identification and intervention are a vital part of success in this program. Research has shown that there is a critical developmental period during which a child must learn language.
Sign language is recognized as bona fide language.
The instructors in our Parent Infant Early Intervention Program are well aware of how crucial it is to develop language as early as possible. We strive to do this at all times in our program. YEAR OLD Parents are offered individual sessions with the parent infant teacher. The focus of these sessions is to provide information about available services auditory training, communication skills, language development, and modeling of appropriate techniques and skills to be carried out in the home. Through home visits or individual classroom instruction by the parent infant teacher parents learn skills and techniques they can use within the child's most comfortable environment.
