In our outreach program, we have various activities like camps, infant screening, school screening, and walkathons to create awareness among the public about different speech and hearing disorders.

We provide infant hearing screening at Yelahanka government hospital and camps held in different rural & semi-urban slums and government schools in and around Bangalore. 

The service currently screens 10,000 children and roughly 500 adults annually. We anticipate 200 children and 100 adults requiring specialist referral – which we will provide at the Samvaad Institute for free or at discounted rates.
