For Adults:
Aural Rehabilitation
Aural Rehabilitation services are provided by a Speech-Language

with hearing loss. For more information about Aural Rehabilitation
services, contact the Director
of Programs.

Pre-and Post-Cochlear Implant Training
At CDHH, you’ll receive objective information that can
help you reach a decision on whether or not to have an implant.
A CDHH speech-language pathologist will provide a communication
assessment and information for developing realistic expectations
about what a cochlear implant can do for you. Post-implant
treatment is tailored to help you reach your specific communication
goals. To learn more, contact the Director
of Programs.
Community Rehabilitation Program
The Community Rehabilitation Program addresses the special
needs of adults with developmental disabilities who also have
hearing loss and helps these individuals improve their independent
living skills, communication skills and social skills through
small group activities and field trips within the community.
