- The EHDI Pals Directory
Information about hearing (audiology) services for children from birth to age five. All of the facilities in this directory report that they have the equipment and expertise to serve children and have licensed audiologists. The directory contains clinic information, including audiology (hearing) services, languages available, payment options, and appointment availability. - Find a Medical Genetics Provider
Medical Genetics Providers in Minnesota can be found using the American College of Medical Genetics website. After agreeing to the website's terms, the search page opens. Under "clinic service type," choosing "specific clinical services" will allow you to choose "hearing loss." - Refer a Child Through Help Me Grow
Help Me Grow provides resources for families to understand developmental milestones and learn if there are concerns. This helps families take the lead in seeking additional support or referring their child for a comprehensive, confidential screening or evaluation at no cost. - Find an Early Head Start Program Near You
Early Head Start programs promote school readiness by enhancing the social and cognitive development of children from low-income families by extending health education, nutrition, social, and other services to family members. - Find a Local Health Department or Community Health Board
Local Public Health Departments assist with finding community services that support children with special health needs including those who are deaf and hard of hearing. EHDI Key Contacts are nurses located at local health departments throughout the state who will assist families in facilitating screening, rescreening, or diagnostic appointments. EHDI Key Contacts can also answer questions related to financial resources available to families.
