Speech, language and learning disabilities come to the surface in daycare facilities and early childhood education centers, thanks to screenings provided by The Center for Hearing, Speech and Language.
Needy persons and their families access many hearing, speech, language and vision services through the Center, and can receive financial assistance for obtaining hearing aids. The Center for Hearing, Speech and Language operates screening services in preschools and elementary schools; during the crucial years when childhood development is rapid and dependant upon being able to effectively communicate with teachers and peers. Half of those receiving screenings at schools and at the on-site facility are assisted financially.
