“Our daughter Huda was screened through the Newborn Screening Program and we found out that she needed more testing. We found out she had profound hearing loss around 2 months old through the Infant Hearing Program. She was referred for a cochlear implant assessment and she received cochlear implant surgery in London in August, and they were activated in September. Our wonderful Speech-Language Pathologist Agapi Varacalli has been working with Huda since then. I am very happy with the service we are getting, starting with the staff at the front door and everyone at the Centre. I feel like everyone is doing their part and she is getting better every day. The hard part for me was the language barrier because I don’t speak English but everyone here made sure that everything was taken care of, and they work through a very nice lady Maram Kayali who is my interpreter.” – Fatima Al Shaaban, Huda’s mom.
Through the support of our donors and community partners, we are able to continue to offer the best family-centred services and support to our clients and their families, like Huda. Donate to JMCC today!
