Teaching and Learning Programs Home Visits Training and Development PlaygroupsOur programs are tailored to meet individual needs and reflect each family’s communication choice.
The family is actively involved in the program as we recognize that parents / care givers are the main educators and decision makers for their child.
Babies/children assessed with a hearing impairment are referred to a support service through the Guidance Officer - Hearing Impairment.
