The Barton G. Kids Hear Now Cochlear Implant Family Resource Center
The Foundation will help fulfill a critical need for resources for hearing-challenged children and their families by establishing a cochlear implant family resource center in Miami that will include an auditory-verbal therapy program. It will be a premier 'go to' place for children, parents, teachers and the public to get answers to questions, learn about hearing loss, explore communications and hearing technology options, find specialists, connect with other families and get the help they need. The Center will help children and families navigate the pathway through the pre- and post-diagnosis phases of hearing loss, cochlear implant surgery, essential auditory-verbal therapy and lifelong habilitation required after initial diagnosis.
Auditory-verbal therapy will be a main focus of the Center. Despite the number of babies born deaf, there are only 300 certified auditory-verbal therapists worldwide. Without the necessary auditory-verbal therapy, the promise of cochlear implants cannot be fully realized. As the number of children implanted continues to rise, the Center will fill a critical gap for resources to assist in the health and continuing education of cochlear children and parents.
