Course Overview

One of the most important things you can do to prepare your baby for a lifetime of learning is to read with them early and often – especially if your little one is deaf or hard of hearing. If your baby has been diagnosed with hearing loss recently and you're looking for ways to help them listen, talk, read, and thrive, this lesson is for you! You'll find helpful knowledge, tools, and resources to make reading with your baby a reality.
