Launch 1st early bilingual website for deaf toddlers & their familiesClerc's Children Inc.

In response to Universal Newborn Hearing Screening, Clerc's Children provides an innovative early intervention service targeting deaf and hard of hearing infants and toddlers, ages 0-5 and their parents. Clerc's Children creates a safe community where parents are supported in their decision to provide a linguistically inclusive home environment for their child by connecting them with other parents, professionals, researchers and community members who are "dual language friendly" and support language development and communication access.

Development Plan: 24 core curricular lessons taught at 5 different levels designed to help a deaf child meet the National Pre-Kindergarten Standards (alphabet, numbers, colors, feelings, shapes, pronouns, etc.). Each lesson consists of vocabulary and phrases signed, written, and spoken with accompanying pictures and visual clues. Tips are also provided to help parents incorporate newly learned vocabulary/phrases into daily routines and everyday life.
