Services for deaf children
Hi, I have an interview for a job in st croix this week. I would like to accept the position if offered but I have a 3 month old son who is deaf and will require audiology services (he already has hearing aids) and we plan on pursuing a cochlear implant at a year old. Is anyone out there familiar with the resources for deaf and hard of hearing kids in USVI? Do they offer deaf education in public schools?
We have an Infant and Toddlers Program that can provide services. We also have an audiologist here and a hearing specialist. Please pm me for contact info,
I recommend you contact Judy Hirsch, audiologist for VI Ear, Nose and Throat. http://entvi.com/index.html. She has been on St Croix for quite some time and should be able to give you some help. They don't do cochlear implants in the VI as far as I know.
