International Onsite Summer Sessions
- Three-week Summer Sessions for children with hearing loss 2 through 5 years old and their families worldwide are offered at the John Tracy Clinic (JTC) campus in Los Angeles, CA. Children attend a spoken language preschool designed to identify their strengths and needs. Parents participate in an education program to learn about hearing loss, auditory-verbal techniques, emotional support for families and educational services for their children. Specialists provide audiology, counseling and consultation services to children and families.
- Summer sessions include a:
1. Auditory-oral preschool program
2. Comprehensive audiological services
3. Daily intensive parent education classes
4. In-depth speech-language assessments
5. Parent support groups led by trained counselors
6. Recreation programs for brothers and sisters, grades 1st through 6th. - Summer services are offered free of charge as are all other family services at John Tracy Clinic. Parents must arrange and pay for their family’s transportation, their food for three weeks and the accommodation fees for nearby university apartment housing.
