CHATS Resources
We want EVERY child with hearing loss to flourish by way of meeting the parents' and families' needs. Through the resources offered and providing family-to-family support, we hope to ensure that our caregivers and children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing not only have their needs met but can thrive together. Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) exists to identify infants with hearing loss or who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing as early as possible so families can make decisions that work best for them. For other organizations that help with community life and transitioning to adulthood or another diagnosis, please visit our directory.
