Coming to terms with your child’s hearing impairment

Child’s hearing impairment

Coming to terms with your child’s hearing impairment

Hearing impairment refers to any degree of hearing loss, which has occurred due to a problem in a part of the ear, including the inner, middle, and outer ears, or the nerves needed for hearing.

In this video, Special Educator & Auditory Verbal Therapist (AVT), Ms. Kim Chadda highlights the different stages a parent goes through when coming to terms with the diagnosis of their child’s hearing impairment. Every family handles their child’s diagnosis in their own way. But, acceptance of a child’s diagnosis will eventually lead the parent towards creating a roadmap to help the child with his/her difficulties. In order to do so parents must seek help from experts in the field as early as possible, together with whom they must set out to create a goal-oriented intervention plan for their child that fits the needs of the child while accommodating the family dynamics too.
