It looks like you and your child would be eligible for a research study currently taking place at the EIRG. This research study is looking at the effects of a naturalistic communication intervention for children who are 12 months old who also have a hearing loss.
We would schedule your first visit at our clinic with you and your child. Your participation would last 24 months, until your child's 3rd birthday. As a part of the research study, you and your child will be randomly selected to participate in one of two groups. Both groups will receive, at no cost to you, speech/language assessments, reports that highlight your child's progress, handouts to facilitate language growth at home, and compensation for your time. In addition, one group will also receive parent training by a trained therapist to work on their child's language skills in their home for 6 months.
