Cochlear Implanted Children's Support Group

We are an independent, voluntary group run by parents whose deaf children have cochlear implants, offering contact, information and events for families whose children already have implants and for those who are considering cochlear implantation for their child.

We offer lived experience of the difference that cochlear implantation can make to the lives of deaf children and their families. We can help with issues that surround life with an implanted child to provide a vital part of the pre and post implantation process – support for parents by parents.

Membership is free, and we provide quarterly newsletters, events and activity weekends for families whose deaf children either already have or are being assessed for cochlear implants.
