About
John Tracy Center Preschool enrolls children with hearing loss and their hearing peers in a setting where credentialed teachers with master's degrees enhance listening, language, pre-literacy, social, emotional, and cognitive skills in stimulating activities. Experts trained to maximize each child's listening, speech, and language potential coach and guide families with listening and spoken language strategies in fun and meaningful therapy sessions. Specially trained speech-language pathologists provide therapy that can address communication, articulation, voice quality, understanding words, putting words together, social skills, and feeding skills.
• Ages: 0–18 years old
John Tracy Center is described as the leading diagnostic and education center for children with hearing loss and offers audiology services for newborns to 18-year-olds through pediatric audiologists who provide diagnostic hearing services and recommendations. Families of newly diagnosed infants and toddlers participate in early-intervention, receive coaching to build their child's communication in everyday routines, and attend support groups and parent workshops. Parents are offered virtual and in-person counseling, support groups, mentoring, and parenting guidance, and children receive developmental screens and counseling. Parents anywhere in the world can participate in virtual, online, or mail-based experiences, and each year parents across the globe apply to come to Los Angeles to learn to promote the abilities of their child and become their best advocates. Itinerant teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing provide support to both the child and mainstream teachers using strategies that address communication, social skills, listening, language, and advocacy skills. Parent resources include dozens of topics explaining hearing loss, family activities, listening, language, speech, and education, with options for printer-friendly handouts and Spanish versions.
The program’s mission statement is “Supporting Families, Changing Lives: We Make an Impact.” Credentialed teachers with master's degrees work in the preschool, and specially trained speech-language pathologists provide therapy for children of all ages. John Tracy Center is associated with an Education Specialist: Deaf and Hard of Hearing Teacher Preparation Program and a Master of Science in Deaf Education in partnership with Mount Saint Mary’s University. A reference to “JTC 75th Anniversary Film” indicates that the organization has a documented 75-year history. One testimonial notes that language learning at JTC made it possible for a former participant to transfer those skills to other languages, and another testimonial from Gina Cooper describes traveling from British Columbia to Los Angeles with her daughter to attend JTC’s International Summer Sessions in 2014 when she was seeking answers about preparing a child with hearing loss for the school system.
