Our mission and strategy
Report
We facilitate early diagnosis for babies and preschool children with all degrees of deafness and provide comprehensive educational and support services for them and their families. By doing so we enable these children to develop their listening and spoken language skills, as well as build their self-esteem and give parents the confidence and knowledge to make informed decisions on behalf of their child.
Our approach
Report
We have developed our own unique Multi-Sensory Oral Approach to support the development of listening and spoken language skills in children with hearing loss. This approach encourages the development of speech, language and listening by using all of the child's senses, in a natural, fun, child centred environment.
Our history
Report
The Elizabeth Foundation was set up in 1981 by parents Shirley and David Metherell MBEs, whose daughter, Elizabeth, was diagnosed as profoundly deaf when she was 22 months old. In response to a lack of local support for Elizabeth, and inspired by the John Tracy Center in Los Angeles, Shirley and David established and developed The Elizabeth Foundation to support other parents of newly diagnosed children with hearing loss.
