With every bone in my body, I believe in Tucker’s Tele-Intervention program, in this school, and whole-heartedly recommend it to every parent of a deaf or hard of hearing child.

A 2015 national study showed that:
- Tele-Intervention was just as or more effective than in-person Early Intervention (NCHAM).
- On average, families and children receiving services via Tele-Intervention (TI) have better language outcomes and auditory skills than children who received services through traditional in-person visits.
- Families receiving services via TI are more engaged in the intervention than the in-person group families, and providers are more responsive to the families when providing services via TI.
- Families who received TI services feel equally supported, knowledgeable, and confident in fostering their child’s development as families who receive in-person services.
