Communication Explorers (formerly called Listen and Speak Up) focuses on communication skills for children ages 3-6 with hearing loss. All communication modalities are welcomed. Individualized treatment plans are developed for each child and targeted in group and 1:1 therapy sessions.

Fun, age-appropriate activities to enhance communication skills are provided by graduate clinicians under the supervision of licensed Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists. Participants also benefit from sessions with Music Therapy and Physical Therapy graduate students. Families are encouraged to attend weekly sessions to learn strategies for use at home.

The preschool meets two mornings a week for six weeks during the summer.
