Auditory, Speech and Language Services
We support children who are deaf or hard of hearing to develop spoken language and literacy through listening.
Auditory, Speech and Language Services
A child’s capacity to talk and be understood starts with technology that gives them appropriate access to the sounds of speech. Once they have access, a child can be taught to listen, with the guidance of professionals, including teachers of the deaf and speech-language pathologists, trained in Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) strategies and techniques.
With Clarke’s Auditory, Speech and Language Services, professionals analyze each child’s ability to hear specific sounds, identify auditory, articulation and language concerns and dedicate time to building the speech and language skills needed for success in a hearing world.
Families are key! Clarke professionals work with caregivers, transferring knowledge and skills to optimize learning opportunities in the home.
Classroom work with teachers of the deaf and individualized attention during daily one-to-one therapy with a licensed speech-language pathologist not only works to meet each child’s individual IEP goals, but guides families to realize the dreams they have for their child.
Audiologists maintain the integrity of the hearing technology equipment, and ensure the environment is accessible for each child. Individual Auditory, Speech and Language Services are also available for children in mainstream programs.
