Childs Voice School

Early intervention: children begin listening even bofore they are born. Learning the sounds of their mother, hearing her voice, her heartbeat. Those early days and years are spent absorbing all the sounds and voices around them. When an infant/toddler is diagnosed with hearing loss they have lost that early exposure to sound. That child is now working to close the gap in that early learning.child's voice strives to bridge that gap.the early intervention program provides a foundation of listening and spoken language skills to children from birth through three years old. This is shared through home based services (individualized speech and lestening therapies along with parent education support), the baby voices group (a bi-monthly group session for parents and infant/toddler 4 weeks - 17 months targeting parent education, social interaction and support) and the toddler group (a group experience that provides social interaction, a varied language/listening environment and language/vocabulary exposure for children 18 months - 3 years with their parents).

Audiology center & pedicatric early hearing detection & intervention (pehdi) program: the audiology center provides services to all children in the school program as well as those attending the groups in the early intervention program. These services include diagnostic testing evaluation and device (hearing aids/cochlear implants) support. Additionally, the pediatric hearing & intervention (pehdi) program offers diagnostic testing to improve the follow up of families with newborns/infants at risk for hearing loss and increasing the timeliness of diagnosis when a loss is present. With the amazing and continued advancements in technology, early identification, and early intervention services, children with hearing loss can develop the skills to listen and to speak. This begins with early diagnosis and good access to sound, both of which can be accomplished through the audilogy center at child's voice. When children leave child's voice, they are better prepared for success. The curriculum and therapies shared provide the building blocks needed for these children to achieve great things. They have built a strong foundation that enables the student and their family to succed. The wonderful success of the the many child's voice graduates is due, in large part, to the early education they received at child's voice. We often say that a future president walks our hallways.
