Overview
This bill establishes programs in New Jersey to support toddlers and children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families. It requires the state’s early intervention program to hold meetings with the child, their parent or guardian, and a language team to foster language development, and to pair the parent or guardian with a deaf or hard of hearing mentor. The bill also creates a program for children ages three to five who have previously received early intervention services, mirroring the structure and goals of the existing program.
