Speech-Language Therapy and Communication Enhancement: Individuals with hearing loss, from infants to the elderly, receive services tailored to meet individual needs. The full range of communication options are available from visual language (ASL) to spoken English, respecting the fact that there is more than one way to live successfully with hearing loss. Families who have an infant with hearing loss receive counseling and information on communication options as well as confidence building advice on how to communicate with their child. Children develop a strong foundation of language through innovative services and rich sensory experiences. Auditory-verbal therapy is provided in outlying areas through an Internet-based program. Programs for adults are designed to meet their specific needs, which may include one-on-one therapy sessions and/or small group communication strategy classes.
