FACES (Family-Audiology-Counseling-Education-Speech pathology)
Enrollment is open to all families of children newly diagnosed with hearing loss, regardless of income, communication modality, or hearing health home. Families are invited to join the FACES program for one to up to eight sessions, depending on their interests and needs.
An initial welcome and intake session introduces the family to the program, identifies needs, and sets goals. Any and all of the topics listed below can be covered during the meeting times. By the end of the sessions, the family will have constructed a personal binder with the relevant information and will have opportunities to meet other families facing pediatric hearing loss. The FACES program is offered to families free of charge.
