Early Support for Your Child’s Hearing Development

Family Support

Hearing plays a vital role in a child’s early development, from learning to communicate to forming social connections. If your child has been diagnosed with hearing loss or concerns, our Infant Hearing Program – Family Support is here to guide you through the next steps.

We provide families with:

  • Education about hearing loss and communication strategies
  • Support in making informed decisions about hearing aids, cochlear implants, and other assistive technologies
  • Connections to speech-language therapy and specialized services

Early intervention is key! We work alongside families to ensure their child receives the resources, tools, and services needed to thrive.

Newborn Screening

The first few months of life are crucial for hearing and language development. That’s why newborn hearing screening is offered to all babies shortly after birth to detect potential hearing concerns early.

This quick, painless test checks for any signs of hearing loss so that, if needed, your baby can receive timely intervention. If a concern is identified, we guide families through:

  • Further assessments and diagnostic testing
  • Early support services to promote language and communication
  • Next steps for intervention and treatment options

Hearing loss can impact speech and learning, but early detection ensures your child gets the best possible start in life.

Toe walking is common in young children, but if it continues beyond age 2–3, early intervention can help improve walking patterns, posture, and muscle function.
