Expanding early intervention auditory-based services and resources for infants and toddlers with all degrees of hearing loss and their families

 Children who are deaf CAN Talk and Listen.

The Auditory Options Project can show you how.

Below is a non-exhaustive list of professionals and centers that provide auditory-based therapy for children with hearing loss.  These service providers have not been endorsed by The Auditory Options Project, however, their contact information was forwarded to us.  It is strongly suggested that parents should visit these providers in order to see if the programs closely meet the family's needs.
