Baby & Me Hearing Program

Baby & Me teaches you how to help your newborn develop his or her communication skills through auditory awareness and spoken language. Held weekly for 1 to 2 hours, each session revolves around everyday life experiences that involve you and your child.

Also included are individual modules on:

• Language, speech, and auditory therapy. 

• Cochlear implant and hearing aid training. 

• Audiological education and management. 

• Parent support and caregiver workshops. 

Throughout the program, you’ll work closely with every department at CCHAT to ensure your infant receives comprehensive exposure to a broad range of learning environments and situations. Baby & Me is staffed by parent/infant advisors who hold advanced degrees and are experts in pedagogical instruction for newborns who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Baby & Me actively involves educational and medical professionals who collectively monitor your child’s language development as he or she moves through the program. Baby & Me is parent-focused, child-driven, and results-oriented to ensure your newborn receives the requisite foundation for lifelong learning and growth.

Enrollment is open to all babies (aged 0 to 18 months) and their primary caregivers. And participation can begin immediately after early diagnosis of your newborn’s hearing impairment.
