Vision, Hearing and Speech Overview
Vision, hearing, and speech are an important part of your child's life. When an infant is born, their eyesight is immature. The infant later develops the ability to focus. Hearing appears early as a baby develops in its mother's uterus. Hearing is needed for correct speech and language development. Keeping track of your child's ability to see, hear, and speak is an important part of your growing child's health.
