To enable children who are deaf and hearing-impaired to develop spoken language so they may fully participate in the world, and in doing so, reach their full potential.

The Centre’s multi-disciplinary team supports and equips parents with the strategies and methods they need to seize every opportunity in day-to-day situations to teach their children to listen, understand the meaning of sound and to speak.
Our Mission
