One of Sunshine
Cottage's primary goals is to build a better relationship with the
medical community. We have designed a program specifically for reaching
physicians in and around San Antonio, Texas. Outreach is provided
to educate the community on services provided at Sunshine Cottage's
Newborn Hearing Evaluation Center and in our the Parent-Infant Program.
Professionals
at hospitals and medical offices visit our facility and provided
information that is helpful in the understanding of hearing impairment
and what can be done to help a family and child.
The critical
need to identify hearing loss, to appropriately amplify and to enroll
the infant in an intervention program under six months of age is
emphasized.
Tours are given
to anyone interested in gaining understanding and information about
Sunshine Cottage and to observe the results of children learning
to listen and talk. Monthly tours include the pediatric residents
of UTHSC arranged through the Village of Hope.
If are interested
in visiting with our outreach coordinator, receiving free materials
regarding hearing impairment, would like to schedule a tour, or
have any further questions, please contact Leslie Walter.
