RIHPs are designed to meet the needs of the family and service delivery is usually home-based.  RIHPs may:            

• Provide weekly home visits that teach families how to communicate with their infants and toddlers through play and daily routines.
• Present information about available comunication options in a non-biased manner. 
• Make referrals to service providers such as speech-language pathologists, audiologists and physicians.
• Work with local Help Me Grow programs to ensure that all families receive Part C (birth to age 3) services.
• Educate and support parents to become advocates for their children.
• Provide information on available resources for children with hearing loss after the age of 3 years.

Currently, there are 10 regional programs serving families across the state of Ohio.  Regardless of where you live in the state, there is a program to serve you and your family.  To locate the program in your county, please select the RIHP contact information link located below.
