CICS is an independent, voluntary group run by parents whose children have cochlear implants to help others whose children already have implants and those who are considering cochlear implantation for their child whether unilateral, simultaneous or sequential bilateral.
We offer first-hand 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.
What we do
- Offer contact, information and support based on first-hand experience
- Put families in touch with others who have relevant experiences to share, eg cause of deafness, additional needs, method of communication, educational provision
- Provide a quarterly newsletter
- Organise a regular information day
- Arrange social events for the whole family
- Organise activity weekends
- Host a members’ Facebook page
- Liaise with other organisations helping deaf children
- Provide links with other groups as well as adult CI users and some overseas families
- Raise awareness of cochlear implants
- Take part in campaigns and research
