Bringing babies into world of sound - An Early Intervention Program
* Deafness can be detected within 48 hours of a child's birth. Most deaf children have a certain amount of hearing, which can be preserved if they are fitted with a hearing aid from a very young age and continue to wear it.
* In most cases, the only thing standing between a hearing impaired child and a normal life with the use of language and sound is a parent in denial
* Government of Tamil Nadu has been running an early intervention programme for early detection and rehabilitation of hearing impaired babies. Chennai-based Balavidyalaya Institute runs an orientation program for the candidates of early intervention centre.
* Early intervention centres will help the children develop age-appropriate skills in language, motor, speech and cognition and prepare them to join a mainstream school by the time they are five years old.
