PIP Camp

Parents Lunch at PIP Camp.  This was our last year.  The Parent Infant Program is from birth to age three.  Morgan's diagnosis of hearing loss came after PIP camp the first year of his birth, so this was our third and last camp.  It is an all day camp for the families from across the state who have deaf or hard of hearing children.  We had key note speakers, workshops, deaf panel, and breakfast, snacks, and lunch.  There is always something new or useful to learn to help our children grow and blossom.  The children are divided into age groups and do crafts, activities, snacks, water-play, and all sorts of fun.  They even had a magic show.  The kids were roaring, squealing and having a really great time.

WELCOME TO DEAF/HH PIP SERVICES

Our primary goals are: • Expose families to the various aspects of hearing loss. • Facilitate families in learning essential skills for early communication with their child. • Through play, provide opportunities for a child to experience activities for optimum development. • Prepare families with information for smooth transition at the age of three.   Each family and child has unique skills and learning preferences. Children with hearing loss can become successful communicators using a language acessible to them. We value a family's right to receive accurate, unbiased information about language options as well as their child's strengths and needs. This information will lead parents to investigate successful strategies, exposing their child to language using methods of choice. Each child's ongoing language development is observed and families develop and adjust strategies to ensure their child has full access to the language of choice in their home.
