Our Theory of Change

The work we do and the way we do it is informed by years of research and experience in the field of paediatric hearing loss. The Shepherd Centre’s Theory of Change identifies the short and long-term returns to our economy and society made possible by early intervention programs; and the positive impact these programs have on the lives of Australians with hearing loss.
