This paper reviews the development of a provincial program to evaluate and train preschool children with hearing impairment of a degree sufficient to interfere with language and speech development. Problems relating to delay in diagnostic assessment and hence to early initiation of training are described, and some suggestions for overcoming them are made. It is suggested that physicians, and particularly pediatricians, have an important role in the resolution of these problems.
