We are incredibly proud of our work helping children with hearing loss learn to listen and speak.
The vast majority of children graduating from our world-leading program achieve spoken language at the same level as typical hearing children by the time they are ready for school.
These outcomes have earned The Shepherd Centre an international reputation as a centre of excellence in helping children with hearing loss learn to listen and speak.
Nearly 40% of children use a language in addition to English. If English is not your first language and you require additional support, we offer interpreter services on request.
One in five children at The Shepherd Centre has diagnosed additional needs that impact on their communication. If your child has additional needs, we will develop a program tailored to your child’s needs.
The majority of children with hearing loss are diagnosed under the age of 3 months. However, we can tailor a program to your child’s needs at any age of diagnosis.
70% of our children have hearing loss in both ears (bilateral) and 30% have hearing loss in one ear (unilateral). We have a special program that caters for unilateral hearing loss.
The majority of our children enrol under 12 months. However, we can tailor a program to your child’s needs at any age of diagnosis.
We cater for all levels of hearing loss with a program tailored to the needs of your child.
