 Illinois School for the Deaf in Jacksonville from June 7-12\, 2020.\n\nPar
 ticipating parents attend daily lectures by experts in the field to learn 
 about raising a child with hearing loss.  Lecture topics include child de
 velopment\, types of hearing loss\, language development\, communication c
 hoices\, deaf culture and school programming. Other activities include me
 eting in small groups to discuss specific concerns and connecting with ot
 her caregivers.\n\nDuring the Institute\, children attend classrooms overs
 een by experienced teachers of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. T
 hey have the opportunity to receive hearing\, vision\, psychological\, sp
 eech\, language and educational evaluations as well as play with other ch
 ildren who have a hearing loss.\n\nSiblings who are 12 and under are welc
