About this event
18/10/2022 Event Reaching capacity: please contact Teresa on email teresa.orourke@chime.ie prior to booking to see if we can faciliate.
Chime, The National Charity for Deafness and Hearing Loss, is hosting a weekend for families whose child has recently been diagnosed with a hearing loss. We would like to invite you and your family to attend on Friday 25th to 27th November in the 4 star Midlands Park Hotel, Portlaoise Town, Co. Laois.
We realize that for parents, the diagnosis of your child’s hearing loss may be somewhat of a shock, therefore, you may have questions about hearing loss, audiology, communication and your child’s development.
The benefit of the weekend is having the information you need in the one place. It is also a chance to meet other families at a similar stage to yourselves. We run workshops on communication development, hearing aid care and assistive technology for school and the home. The schedule for the weekend's workshops is attached below.
Our aim is to offer all families a supportive and confidential environment to share your own experiences. Families stay for the duration of the weekend in the hotel allowing you to chat with our team of experts and other families in a social and relaxed atmosphere. While parents attend the workshops, a professional childcare service is provided.
Childcare is located in the hotel for children aged 4 months to 12 years. The crèche services are operated by Catkins on the Move who are registered and compliant with HSE and Tusla regulations.
The cost of attending the weekend is €70 per adult and €40 per child (4mths to 15years) and includes Accommodation Friday and Saturday night, All meals and creche. A Payment link will be sent to you and payments taken through the Chime website in advance of the weekend. Due to booking obligations with the hotel we are unfortunately unable to offer refunds after 4th November.
