Program areas at Savannah Speech and Hearing Center
Audiology: we provide comprehensive Hearing assessments for children and adults, customized Hearing instruments, and accessories. The Center is the cochlear implant audiology Center for eligibility evaluations, mapping, and follow-up. Additional services include industrial Hearing tests, central auditory processing assessment, consultation, training, and Hearing aid repair.
Sound start, an auditory or oral school, was developed for children whose primary challenge is communication due to Hearing impairment. We teach children who are deaf or hard of Hearing to communicate through spoken language. Our objective is to provide an option for these children to develop the ability to listen, speak, and understand spoken language in order to be successful and independent in a mainstream education setting. Social skills, pre-literacy, pre-academics, and communication are taught through spoken language. Sign language is not utilized as part of this program.
Speech and language: the Center provides assessment of a speech-language disorder. The Center offers screenings, comprehensive evaluations, and a wide range of treatment options for infants, children, and adults.
