Kaka, a child with profound hearing loss and her mother

Kaka was unable to utter a single word even though she was over three years old. Her mother was deeply distressed and unable to find the cause. One day, they visited Sheung Tak Child Care Centre, where the teachers suspected that Kaka might have hearing issues preventing her from speaking. It was eventually confirmed that she had profound hearing loss in both ears.
After enrolling at the Sheung Tak Child Care Centre, thanks to the dedicated efforts of teachers and speech therapists, despite challenges such as COVID, Kaka successfully spoke her first word at five years old and gradually became capable of conversational speech. She has now successfully transitioned to mainstream primary school.
