Supporting families with Deaf Infants and their Professionals

Welcome

I offer independant help and guidance for parents and professionals aiming to develop the communication, listening and speech skills of deaf babies and preschool children.

How can I help?

My job is to guide, coach and support families with babies and toddlers challenged by hearing loss, through the early years of discovery and success.

Supporting families with babies and toddlers challenged by hearing loss.

Initially there can seem a lot to learn about new subjects such as:

• Understanding hearing loss and how even profoundly deaf children can learn to listen to your voice.
• Hearing aids and early amplification for a deaf baby.
• Paediatric cochlear implants and personal FM systems.
• The potential impact on your child’s speech development and schooling.
• Oral and auditory-verbal strategies that can be used in daily life to help your child learn to listen and speak.

My aim is to help you truly understand your options, make informed choices that you know how to evaluate and review, and to keep you moving at a pace that will enable your child to achieve age appropriate language - if that is your goal. Of course, I also use a diagnostic, evidence based approach so that you will know promptly if the addition of other techniques would help your child more.

Meeting your needs

The services I offer can be shaped to meet your specific needs, questions and challenges. I have worked with infants following newborn hearing screening through to school placement for 20 years. I have worked with pioneers in the field, state of the art technology and inspired programmes for families with hearing impaired infants. Just ask, and I will do my best for you.
