Why does early intervention matter?
The first few years of life are a critical time for a child’s speech and language development. Undetected or untreated hearing loss during this period can greatly affect a child’s ability to connect with others.
Communication and language skills are essential for learning and social interaction, early intervention can help your child keep up with their peers and build and maintain relationships with other children.
Programs for children with hearing loss can begin as soon as a child is diagnosed, in this case, the sooner really is the better. Starting a program as soon as possible gives your child the best start for school and beyond.
