Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, have fun, and grow into a healthy, successful adult. Children with hearing loss who do not receive early intervention services have a higher risk of developing learning disabilities, poor social skills and behavioral problems that can last a lifetime. That is why the Center for Communication, Hearing and Deafness is committed to providing quality early intervention services and parent education and youth enrichment programs for those with hearing loss and their families.
The Kellogg Child and Family Program uses a family-centered approach, recognizing the importance of working with both children and their parents, tailoring services to meet individual goals.
