The Difference is the Doctor! Many people are aware that their hearing has deteriorated but are reluctant to seek help. Perhaps they don't want to acknowledge the problem, are embarrassed by what they see as a weakness, or believe that they can "get by" without using a hearing aid. And, unfortunately, too many wait years, even decades, before getting treatment. But time and again, research demonstrates the considerable negative social, psychological, cognitive and health effects of untreated hearing loss...with far-reaching implications that go well beyond hearing alone. In fact, those who have difficulty hearing can experience such distorted and incomplete communication that it seriously impacts their professional and personal lives, at times leading to isolation and withdrawal. Hearing loss is not just an ailment of old age. It can strike at any time and any age, even childhood. For the young, even a mild or moderate case of hearing loss could bring difficulty learning, developing speech and building the important interpersonal skills necessary to foster self-esteem and succeed in school and life. At the The Hearing Doctor, our mission is to help educate families about hearing loss and promote the importance of prevention and treatment, hearing aids, aural rehabilitation, and resources for medical care and financial assistance.

Janet Harrod Carr specializes in the evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents with language-learning disorders affecting listening, speaking, reading, writing, and spelling. Additionally, she specializes in the evaluation and treatment of children with speech sound disorders, apraxia, and dysarthria. She has specialized training for trestment of children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders/Asperger's Syndrome. Socio-emotional communication skills are addressed through direct training in individual and group activities as well as use of social stories to improve the child's understanding of what to do and say. Treatment is designed to improve learning strategies, develop metacognative skills, develop listening comprehension/auditory processing and verbal expression, improve intelligibility of speech, develop reading fluency and reading comprehension skills and improve written expression and spelling. Therapy is conducted in a naturalistic environment to accomplish structured and individualized treatment goals identified during the evaluation and treatment process. Family input and participation is critical to the success of the child and is enhanced through education, training and guided practice. Use of technology (IPads, Touch Screen Computers, Low-Tech Assistive Technology, etc.) is incorporated whenever possible. Ms. Carr believes that management of sensory/motor processing challenges is a critical underpinning to treatment and works collaboratively with physical and occupational therapists to ensure that the child's motor and sensory needs are addressed/accomodated during the treatment process. She also works collaboratively with psychologists, pediatricians and neurodevelopmental professionals to ensure that emotional and physical issues are addressed concurrently to treatment.
