Special Programs: Baby Talk

The first three years after your child is born is a critical time for the development of speech and language, especially the first year. What happens during this time will have a significant impact on your child’s life. Once this time period has passed, it becomes increasingly difficult for a child with hearing loss to develop spoken language. 

We developed the BabyTalk program to provide teletherapy services for children with hearing loss from birth to 3 years of age, using a parent coaching model.
