John Tracy Clinic - Give Deaf Children a Voice
Goals
- Provide significant funding for one year of preschool services
- Help 175 deaf children learn spoken language
- Teach parents how to advocate for their deaf child's future
Overview
JTC's Preschool Program nurtures deaf children in a parent-centered, spoken-language environment to prepare them for a mainstream education with their hearing peers. Children are divided by age and developmental stage into three classrooms which are state-of-the-art listening and language learning environments. Each child also receives individualized speech therapy and each parent attends bimonthly workshops and support groups. Other essential services include hearing evaluations, individualized instruction, intensive summer sessions, and comprehensive developmental assessments and therapy.
Deliverables:
90% of 2-3 yr olds make progress in listening and spoken language
94% of 3-4 yr olds advance in spoken language, pre-literacy and social development
85% of 4-5 yr olds graduate to mainstream schools
100% of Parents improve their knowledge of deafness, skills in fostering their child's spoken language and ability to advocate for their child’s future
