All amplification devices are checked daily by staff and parents to ensure that they are properly working.
Staff also completes a daily listening check with children to assess listening abilities.
Cochlear Implant Cochlear Implants are the latest technology designed to give children with more profound hearing losses the opportunity to hear within normal speech levels. This device is implanted into the auditory nerve to enable the individual to hear in an entirely different way, hearing sounds and spoken language previously unavailable to him or her. The center provides full services for children with implants until they are 8 years of age. Therapists work heavily on auditory stimulation, language enrichment, cognitive skill building, and speech and oral motor training. Therapists have discussed and helped students learn everything from how to produce a sound to listening and identifying animal sounds, and even explaining what condensation is and why this condition occurs.
