A For Father's Only support group meets once a month. Individual parent or family counseling sessions are available as needed. The Preschool classes are designed to meet the needs of hearing-impaired children from three through five years of age. Classes are taught by teachers of the hearing impaired who are also certified in early childhood education and special education. Certified speech therapists, who have had experience in working with hearing-impaired children and are also certified in early childhood education, provide individual therapy.
Teacher assistants help in the classrooms each day.
It is there, where the child has a quiet environment and the therapist's undivided attention, that specific speech and listening skills are presented. These classes are also designed to meet the needs of preschool children who have had a fluctuating hearing loss during the early years. Such a loss frequently impacts negatively on speech and language development. These children receive ongoing middle ear monitoring using tympanometry, thus ensuring prompt and appropriate medical management. Through early intervention and remediation, these children get the educational boost they need to attain their full potential.
