Pediatrics

When a child with hearing loss is referred to or identified by ESHC, they will enter into a specialized program designed to address the complete communication needs of your child. The ESHC team focuses on identifying and providing aural habilitation, speech and language therapeutic interventions, and educational and family support.

To access and monitor your child’s aural habilitation needs, you and your child will undergo a hearing instrument consultation, where an audiologist will provide individualized recommendations for hearing instrument technology to suit your child’s needs. After hearing instrument technology has been selected, your child will receive thorough follow-up care to verify and validate the performance of the hearing instruments.

To access and monitor your child’s speech and language therapeutic needs, a speech-language pathologist will conduct an evaluation to ensure they are hitting their speech developmental milestones and to determine if therapeutic intervention would be of benefit. The speech-language pathologist will also routinely monitor the development of your child’s speech and aural behaviors.
