The importance of early identification in children with hearing loss/deaf

This project provides guidance, support and technical assistance services, both to families and providers who provide services to the population with hearing loss/deaf.

Early identification of children with hearing loss/deaf is essential to provide them with services according to their needs. Families must be oriented and know the services available, and how to access them. Additionally, it is important to train service providers in everything related to early identification and services available for children with hearing loss/deaf and their families.
