includes family priorities along with therapist recommendations
for a complete program.
Speech / language therapy for children
with a hearing loss varies greatly depending on the need of
the child. We have several therapists
who are trained and fluent in a variety of communication modes,
including American Sign Language, spoken English, and English
via Cued Speech. The mode of communication to be used with each
child is determined by
the client’s families with recommendations from individual therapists.
