Course of an early intervention in a child with hearing impairment

The thesis deals with the course of the early intervention in children with a hearing impairment. The main goal of this work is to map the services of early intervention in the Czech Republic, specifically in the vicinity of its capital. One of the goals is to evaluate these services from the perspective of both the parents and the professionals. The theoretical part deals with the child's personality and the initial period of his/her life, including its historical concept and importance in the family. The chapter is devoted to early intervention itself, discussing its importance, objectives and legislative inclusion.
