Abstract:
The Marion Downs National Center for Infant Hearing was established in 1996 through a Maternal and Child Health Grant awarded to the University of Colorado. The goals of the grant are to implement statewide systems of newborn hearing screening, audiologic assessment, and early intervention in 19 states. Newborn hearing screening alone will not assure early identification or positive outcomes for the development of communication and language. Therefore, the staff at the Marion Downs National Center developed comprehensive goals for all participating states. These goals are described in this article.
