After we broughthim home from the hospital, we thought that would bethe end of any bad news,” said Ali.Eight months on, Koby plays and explores like anyinquisitive toddler. He understands twice as manywords as he did six months ago and is now joiningtwo words together!But, ten months into Koby’s recovery, doctorsperformed follow up tests and found Koby hadsevere hearing loss in both ears.Ali said “The changes we are seeing in Koby’s languageand comprehension are so reassuring.“The results from this test shocked us, overwhelmed us,and sent us into a state of denial that he could possiblyhave such an extreme hearing loss. Days after Koby’sdiagnosis we were inundated with calls and received anenormous amount of brochures, but we immediately feltdrawn to Hear and Say.“In a scary new world of the unknown Hear andSay guided us through every step with knowledge,experience and support, making a challengingand confronting time for our family much moremanageable.“Hear and Say have been our angels.”What services does Hear and Say provide?Audiology Technology support Auditory-Verbal Therapy Home visitsSocial skills program School visits Occupational Therapy Parent Training
