tVISIT Program
Delivering Early Intervention Services Remotely
Clarke’s tVISIT (teleservices Virtual Intervention Services for Infants and Toddlers) Program provides early intervention services to families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, from birth to age three.
tVISITs are administered using a computer with a web camera and a microphone; a tablet (such as an iPad); or a smart phone with video communication capability.
Since the first session in 2013, tVISITs have provided access to early intervention services for hundreds of children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

FAQs
How does a tVISIT work?
A Clarke practitioner and a child's caregivers connect via videoconferencing at an appointed time. The practitioner guides, coaches and helps the caregivers apply effective strategies that promote listening and spoken language development while engaging in everyday activities.
Can families still see their early intervention professional(s) in person?
Of course! While some families are supported only through tVISITs, others also receive in-person services from Clarke. When possible, Clarke offers this “hybrid model” of care in which families receive both in-person and tVISIT services.
Does a tVISIT offer the same standard of care as in-person sessions in the Birth to Age Three Program?
Yes, the child and family receive the same quality of support and early intervention services as provided by a Clarke professional on site in our Birth to Age Three Programs and, when applicable, as outlined on the IFSP (Individual Family Service Plan).
Can tVISITs help your family?
