Testimonial:

"We love that we can enjoy the program in our own home with our child feeling comfortable and at ease learning from one person who is outgoing, friendly, and makes learning fun. We feel like we aren’t alone and that we have guidance to help our child succeed at home and at school. We have learned so much from SRP! As a family it has helped us communicate better and become closer by learning together."

Early Hearing Detection & Intervention

The Joint Committee on Infant Hearing and U.S. Public Health Service's Healthy People 2010 health objectives recommend that all newborns be screened for hearing loss by 1 month of age, have diagnostic follow-up by 3 months of age, and receive appropriate intervention services by 6 months of age. Early hearing screening is critical in making the best decision for a child's future.

Check out the above video about early hearing detection and identifcation. The video was created through the collaborative efforts of South Dakota Department of Health (https://doh.sd.gov), University of South Dakota, and South Dakota School for the Deaf.
