Baker Scholars
What is the Baker Scholars Program?The Baker Scholars Program supports families who have limited access to quality listening and spoken language intervention services. It is operated by the Baker Institute for Children with Hearing Loss in collaboration with the Stanford Ear Institute. The Baker Scholars Program delivers parent coaching and direct therapy services so that children with cochlear implants can learn to listen and speak, regardless of the family's geographic proximity to appropriate services. Baker Scholars are children who are in greatest need of therapeutic services for learning to listen and speak. We provide Baker Scholars services over a three- to five-year period, which includes the following:
Who is eligible?
Parents are key participants in this process. To achieve the combined family and Baker Scholars Program goals for your child to reach his or her maximum potential in the areas of listening and spoken language development, your family must commit considerable time and effort to attending therapeutic sessions weekly and daily practice of the weekly therapeutic skills taught with your child. A parent or guardian must be present and participating in all sessions alongside your child. This program is supplemental to any other educational and therapeutic services your child may already be receiving or may be eligible to receive in the future. How do I apply?Applications are being considered on an ongoing basis. Please download an application here.
