What we do
The Hear and Say Centre is a family-focused centre which uses
the Auditory-Verbal Therapy approach. It is unique to Queensland
and recognises the parent as the natural teacher of their child
and works with the family to teach their child to listen and
speak.
The Hear and Say Centre is a registered charity, providing
educational services at a minimal cost to all
families within Australia who choose
to attend one of our centres and an Outreach Service to those
who are unable to regularly attend a Centre.
The Centre aims to integrate children
who are deaf or hard of hearing into the hearing and speaking
community and their local school
at the earliest possible time.
Dimity Dornan, an experienced
speech pathologist, founded the Centre in Brisbane, Queensland,
in 1992 with six children.
The Centre
has now grown to provide a service for over 200 children
and their families each year. As well as the Brisbane Centre,
there are now regional
centres in North Queensland, Darling Downs, Sunshine
Coast and the Gold Coast.
