Kelly@co-hv.org
- Kelly is a mom to two boys, one of whom has a unilateral hearing loss (UHL). She serves a unique role in the organization: ensuring that families referred from audiologists get connected with information about early intervention at the same time they are referred to the CO- Hear and Early Intervention system in the county where they live. As such, she also offers a connection to our GBYS program. Research shows that a majority of parents find that contact with experienced, prepared parents ranks as the most helpful support they receive after their child’s identification. – Click for Kelly’s Story –
