We also provide consultation and training to other professionals working with deaf and hard of hearing children. From a Parent...... "The biggest benefit we received from the Centre was the information and support we needed for us to help our daughter." COMMUNICATION APPROACH: We promote early and successful communication between children and their families. How a child will communicate most effectively depends on factors that are unique to each child and family. We assist families to discover the ways their child is best able to communicate. A variety of options are available, including speech, speech reading, auditory learning, sign supported speech, and American Sign Language. SERVICES FOR FAMILIES: Outreach staff travel to homes and communities to provide hands on training for deaf and hard of hearing children, their families, and the team of community service providers. Families from outside the Lower Mainland may arrange to visit the centre for a 1 to 5 day education and support program. From a Parent...... "When our child was first diagnosed with a hearing loss we felt so isolated. Talking with other parents helped us so much. They understood our worries and questions and were able to give us many useful tips." Programs for families:
