Early identification and intervention of hearing loss, impaired vision and communication delays can improve the trajectory for a child's development and can directly influence later academic accomplishments, health, wellbeing and quality of life. The Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services provides 100 percent funding across the province for the provision of the Blind-Low Vision Program, Infant Hearing Program, and Preschool Speech and Language Program for the purpose of establishing an integrated, community-based system of early identification and intervention services for preschool children and their families.
