Kellogg Child & Family Program provides appropriate early intervention services to children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. The team include Listening and Spoken Language certified, auditory-verbal therapists and speech-language pathologists and sign language instructors. Services are provided in the facility and in natural environments including homes, daycares, schools and via the web through our ConnectHEAR teleintervention program for families living in remote, rural areas where services are not readily available (and during the pandemic to keep everyone safe). Parents learn from the specialized professionals how to encourage their child's development of communication, auditory, language, cognitive, speech and social skills so they can be on par with their hearing peers as they enter kindergarten.

The Kay Eckstein Speech & Hearing Center provides an integrated experience for clients and patients needing audiology services and/or consultation services for assistive technology equipment to be used in the home, work or other environments. Our team includes doctors of audiology and technology consultants who will determine what works best for the clients and patients based on their hearing loss and communication needs. HEAR Wisconsin launched the Mobile Audiology Clinic (MAC) to serve even more people in the community. MAC promotes hearing health care and wellness through hearing loss detection, conservation, prevention and education, as part of a community outreach initiative. MAC addresses hearing health disparities among Southeastern Wisconsin's most vulnerable, including children, the low income, homeless, uninsured and underemployed population. Annually, MAC has the potential to screen thousands of children and adults who may otherwise not have an opportunity to be screened.
