CID services include family and caregiver coaching at CID, in the home and community settings. We have a class for toddlers that combines group instruction and individual therapy. Services begin when our intake coordinator contacts a family to help them navigate the process of enrolling in early intervention services. Once enrolled, each family is assigned a parent educator to guide them throughout their journey. One of the first steps is partnering with pediatric audiologists to ensure the child has optimal access to sound. For families living outside of our parent educators’ travel area, we offer support via remote coaching sessions or at CID when they visit for audiology appointments.
CID also offers the support of a dedicated parent support specialist who provides opportunities to connect with other families, emotional support and resources.
