The single most important service an early intervention centre requires is effective counselling.

The Foundation’s counselling service—

• Provides basic information on deafness and issues related to parenting.
• Provides individualized on-going and effective counselling service to parents of hearing-impaired babies to help them accept and cope with their child’s special needs.
• Addresses age-appropriate behavioural issues as these babies grow through the Foundation’s programme and helps them devise appropriate strategies to handle them.
• Develops sensitivity towards hearing impairment among children and adults in each child’s community.
