Early intervention

Early intervention

Early Intervention under Centrum pro dětský sluch Tamtam is registered as a preventive social service at the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of Czech Republic. Early intervention provides its service according to standards of quality and according to the Article 54 of the Social Services Act No. 108/2006 Coll.

Mission of the service

We support families with children with hearing impairments, so they can cope with challenging life situations. We want the families to learn how to communicate with their children and how to live in the most common way possible.

Goals of the service

The family is well-informed about the situation and the care necessary for a hearing-impaired child and its upbringing. The family and the child know how to communicate together so that the child’s overall development is supported, with respect to its individual capabilities and needs. The family can make use of its own resources, knows its further support options and is (depending on their interest) engaged in generally available activities for kids and families.

Target group of the service

The target group of the service is represented by families with children with hearing-impairment in their early age, that being 0-7 years old, who live in Czech Republic. The service can be provided to a family since the birth of the child or after a hearing disability is diagnosed (or at the moment of a superstition of it) until child’s start of compulsory education or a start of another consecutive service, to the limit of child’s seven years of age.

The service is provided according to the place of residence of the family from our two branch offices.

The early intervention service is self-imposed, so the parents have to decide on its use at their own discretion.

Our work team

Our work team mainly consists of early intervention counsellors. When working with clients, parents and hearing-impaired children, we find ourselves at the interface of special education, psychology and both the social and health fields, which is why our education must comply with a high standard in all these areas. We continuously educate ourselves and follow new trends, given the rapid progress and development especially in the field of technology.

Early intervention counsellors, just like other workers (head of the service, methodology specialist, coordinator) meet the recognized professional standards set by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. In our team we mainly have special needs educators but also psychology, pedagogy and social work university or higher education graduates.

We follow the unified requirements for this profession as set by the Association of Early Intervention Czech Republic. Both our workplaces are holders of service quality guarantee granted by the Association.
