Together, we continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates our TLC community members' diverse narratives. TLC believes that diversity fosters innovation. Provide services for pediatric deaf/hard of hearing population ages 3-22 with diagnoses such as, learning disabilities, developmental delays, cerebral palsy, emotional/behavioral concerns. Intervention services are designed to enhance the student's potential for learning, to assist the student in acquiring those functional performance skills needed to participate in and benefit from the educational environment, and to help the student function independently.
The support services team includes Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language therapy. Physical therapists work closely with these professionals, along with educational staff and students' families. The Speech and Language Pathologist assesses the communication and language abilities (signed, written and/or spoken) of students (using formal and informal assessment tools), in terms of present functioning and future potential, and determining the most effective modalities for development of proficient language and communication abilities and/or remediation.
