The Choices for Children (CFC) program is an early intervention program for hard-of-hearing and deaf children under the age of 3. CFC combines American Sign Language (ASL), sign-supported English, and spoken English to enable communication for hard-of-hearing and deaf children.
Early Intervention provides services and support to parents of deaf or hard of hearing children under the age of 3. It involves providing services and supports, such as in-home visitations, speech therapy, physical therapy, and other relevant services to the children. Many Early Intervention programs are provided free of cost or at a significantly reduced cost to families in every state.
The Choices for Children (CFC) program is an early intervention program for hard-of-hearing/deaf children under the age of 3. CFC combines ASL, sign-supported English, and spoken English to enable communication for hard-of-hearing and deaf children. We operate in several counties in Pennsylvania. Check the bottom of the page to see if we serve your county.
Our staff are experienced, certified teachers of the deaf and augment visitations with playgroups, camps, and online webinars. Our model is based on coaching you to assist your child, rather than directly training your child. CFC also aims to foster connections between your family and other families in a similar position and hosts regular meetups at one of our campuses.
CFC understands that your life is busy, and we strive to support as many individuals as possible. For your convenience, we offer services both in the home and at daycare facilities*.
*Due to COVID-19, we have moved to teletherapy in several of our counties. Please check with your county coordinator for the latest information
