Some professionals may think that pediatric rehabilitation can only begin after a baby has received their cochlear implant(s), but this is incorrect. Rehabilitation support is beneficial to families of infants right from the diagnosis of hearing loss. The support given to families during the wait for their child to receive a cochlear implant has the power to shape a baby’s brain now and into the future through caregiver education and coaching!
Ready, Steady, Go! Professionals offers practical activities with step-by-step instructions to use with caregivers and their babies to support early communication development and interaction, as well as information for guiding and coaching families to develop their knowledge, skills, and confidence in supporting their child.
