The mission of the Hear and Say Centre is to enable families to teach their children who are deaf or hard of hearing to listen and speak.
They strive to achieve this mission by providing early intervention using Auditory-Verbal
Therapy.
The Hear and Say Centre is a family-focused centre, unique in Queensland, which recognises the
parent as the natural teacher of their child and works with the family to teach their child to listen and speak.
The Hear and Say Centre is a registered charity, providing educational services that are free
to all families within Australia who choose to attend the Centre.
The Centre aims to integrate children who are deaf or hard of hearing into the hearing and
speaking community and their local school at the earliest possible time.
Dimity Dornan, an experienced speech pathologist, founded the Centre in Brisbane, Queensland,
in 1992 with six children. The Centre has now grown to provide a service for over 185 children and their families each year. The Centre, based in Brisbane, now has regional centres in North Queensland, the Darling Downs, the Sunshine
Coast, and the Gold Coast.
Having a Centre based in Nambour means that Sunshine Coast based families will no longer have
to make the four hour round trip to Brisbane for their weekly therapy sessions.
For information please contact the Sunshine Coast Coordinator, Jackie Brown on the number
above.
This is a Free Community Charity Listing donated by
NambourTown.com.au to promote awareness of the great service provided by the Hear & Say Centre in Nambour.
