Early Intervention
Parent-Infant Program (Home-based)
DePaul provides free
home-based services for families who qualify for early intervention services in
the following counties:
Allegheny, Beaver,
Butler, Lawrence, Washington, and Westmoreland.
Our certified Teachers
of the Deaf have experience and specialized training in cochlear implant use
and habilitation, hearing aid use, development of auditory skills, and
development of spoken language. In addition, the home-based teachers are able
to provide instruction in any communication modality preferred by the family
including sign language. DePaul Teachers of the Deaf have a tremendous wealth
of resources to share with families including: information about cochlear
implants, troubleshooting cochlear implants and hearing aids, use of assistive
technology such as FM systems, speech/language development, auditory
development, literacy, physical and cognitive development, social communication
skills, publications and websites related to hearing loss, and community
resources.
