Out reach

In the present era of communication, living in silence is certainly a punishment. To create awareness, screening camps are conducted in villages and towns of southern districts in Tamilnadu.

While prevention is better than cure, early diagnosis and intervention can certainly help those suffering in the world of ‘soundless silence’. To identify hearing loss in school children, we train teachers and refer the children to centers where supporting facilities are available.

Rehabilitation

As per data collected by National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) 10 to 13 percentage of school children in the country have speech defects including difficulty in articulation, stuttering, middle-ear disorders which lead to learning disability. These children need Speech Therapy. Our centre has a full time Speech Therapist and we give Speech Therapy to adults and children with hearing disability as well as other disabilities like autism, Cerebral Palsy, etc.
