CAOS also offers the following services for school aged children with hearing loss: speech, language and listening therapy, theme-based classroom curriculum, academic tutoring,mainstream support and socialization Children with hearing loss who are developing spoken language and listening skills benefit from interactions with normally hearing, typically developing peers. Additionally, the small group, hands-on learning opportunities that benefit children with hearing loss also provide a positive educational foundation for children with normal hearing.
