USU Creates Program for Deaf Children
Utah State University announces a one-of-a-kind program aimed at assisting young children with permanent hearing loss to develop spoken language and listening skills. The program, called Sound Beginnings of Cache Valley, is a $3 million initiative put together by the Utah State University Department of Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education and USU’s National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management.
Sound Beginnings will offer a tuition-free school that will give young children with hearing loss access to specialists in early childhood deaf education, pediatric audiology, and speech-language pathology.
In addition to benefiting children and their families, the program will give USU students studying communicative disorders and deaf education valuable hands-on experience.
Anyone interested in learning more about the Sound Beginnings program should contact the USU Department of Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education at 435-797-7554.
