Not so long ago, most infants born into silence found little hope of ever being able to play a full role in family and community life. Now, with early diagnosis and advances in hearing technology, it is possible for children who are deaf and hard of hearing to grow up in a rich sound environment, learning to listen, talk and succeed on par with their hearing peers prior to kindergarten. But this possibility cannot become reality unless families receive expert help and support as soon as their child’s hearing loss is detected.
For over 65 years, John Tracy Clinic’s Education Services have helped children with hearing loss and their parents develop the skills and confidence they need through the Parent/Infant and Preschool programs, which include Education Classes and Support Groups and ongoing developmental and audiological guidance.
