Hearing Victory

Before we as human beings can learn to understand spoken language, we must be able to hear that language. The lack of this ability seriously impairs our ability to function as complete human beings, since the normal developmental sequence of speech is dependent upon the capability of hearing and interpreting language.

Some children are deaf when they begin The Institutes program. They are unable to respond to sounds. When such a child achieves the ability not only to hear sounds, but also to respond to 10 to 25 words of speech and to follow simple directions, he or she has earned a Hearing Victory.
