Hearing Intervention Services

VISIONARY LEADERS PROVIDING EXEMPLARY SERVICE TO 12 COUNTIES

Hearing Intervention Services Team


The MCESC Hearing Intervention Services team provides service across the state to more counties than any other MCESC service provider.  

 

We serve students who are deaf or hard of hearing from age 3 to 21 enrolled in school programs. We provide services to students based on their IEP (Individualized Education Plan). Referrals for services must come from the local school district. 

Field Trips

Each year, Hearing Intervention Services likes to bring students, interpreters and families together for an afternoon get-away. It is a time when everyone can relax and enjoy the day for social/cultural/lingual interaction in a comfortable environment. If you would like to know more about our field trips, please call (937) 236-9965.
