Hearing Screenings
Article sections
It is generally known that language development directly impacts brain development, but what is less known is how much even a “little” hearing loss impedes typical language development.
With the cooperation of childcare centers, it is our goal to identify children and begin interventions that could prevent possibly years of lost language and brain development.
Beginnings SC will offer a comprehensive program including:
- hearing screenings, using an OAE (otoacoustic emissions) screener
- staff development, a free training about hearing loss, its risk factors, how to approach parents if a hearing loss is suspected, and how to integrate children with hearing loss into the center
- parent support
