The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) announced a new five-year national effort to diagnose and provide early intervention services for 90% of children with hearing loss by the time they are six months old, according to an association statement.

- model eligibility criteria for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part C program
