Hearing impaired
We support children and young people from 0 to 19 years of age who have a hearing loss and their families. The pattern of advisory visits to schools etc. depends on need and may vary from time to time.
We provide:
- a one-off or occasional visit to the family or educational setting for children with mild or temporary hearing loss
- pre-school support to families from point of diagnosis
- support to any educational setting funded by Barnet for children who have significant, long-term or permanent hearing loss
- specialist equipment for children and pupils in educational settings in Barnet
- training and advisory support to schools, nurseries and pre-schools.
We also maintain:
- close contact with the Audiology clinics and Speech & Language Therapy Service
- close liaison with the schools in Barnet that are additionally resourced for children and young people who have significant hearing loss. (Summerside for nursery & primary pupils, Hendon school for secondary).
Further information about support for children with hearing loss in Barnet is also available at Directme
