NCHAM's Early Childhood Hearing Outreach (ECHO) Initiative focuses on "echo-ing" successful newborn hearing screening efforts by extending the benefit of periodic hearing screening to children 0 3 years of age in a variety of settings including Head Start and Health Care Settings.
NCHAM serves as the National Resource Center for Early Hearing Detection and Intervention. Funding for the early childhood initiatives have been provided in part by the Administration for Children and Families Office of Head Start, the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, and the Oticon Foundation.
