Preschools that have serviced children with hearing loss in the past may be most beneficial.
Enthusiasm about having a child with hearing loss and a willingness to collaborate with a team of professionals and parents are positive characteristics.
Make sure classrooms have good acoustics. Noise and reverberation are evident in many preschools.
Bring an educator from Early Intervention or the hearing aid/cochlear implant center when visiting different preschools. This can be helpful in making an informed decision as to which program is the best match for your child.
