Listening Stars : Parent Infant Program (0-18 Months)

Early Intervention plays a vital role.

Early diagnosis is the key to successful early intervention. Babies who are detected early can access further testing quickly and parents can access support and information. Children whose problems are identified early & begins with early intervention strategies before six months of age, have the best chance of developing age appropriate speech and language.

As Babies begin to learn things right from the time they are in the womb of their mother. It is advised not to waste critical time. Critical Period for developing the ability for spoken language is from 0-3 years. At that stage, the brain has the maximum neural Plasticity. The child too must learn early to grow up with the hearing aids/cochlear implant (CI) and accept them easily. Most importantly, children learn to make use of their residual hearing and acquire speech and language faster if they start earlier. Starting at an older age, not only slows down the ability to learn and speak, it can severely jeopardise.

The programme is especially for Babies/ Infants diagnosed with any developmental delays. It provides them early training to identify and understand the sounds around them.
