Saskatchewan Pediatric Auditory Rehabilitation Centre (SPARC)

SPARC is offered through the Saskatchewan Health Authority’s Hearing Health Program and provides a family centered approach to listening and spoken language therapy and (re)habilitation services for children with permanent hearing loss.

SPARC’s mission is to help children use their hearing and listening potential to communicate. Services are provided by a certified Speech-Language Pathologist who works closely with Audiologists and other members of the hearing team to help meet the needs of families.

SPARC services include:

  • Assessment,
  • In person and virtual therapy
  • Consultative supports
  • Professional development to promote local capacity and integrate services close to home.

The SPARC Program can provide the following assistance to families:

  • Helps parents understand the implications of hearing loss
  • Helps parents adjust to use of amplification for their child
  • Helps parents work effectively with their child to develop communication
  • Provides ongoing evaluation of the child’s auditory and communicative development
  • Provides opportunities to meet other parents of children with hearing loss
  • Provides information regarding future educational opportunities
  • Assists with the transition from SPARC to the school system
  • Provides pre-surgical counselling for families whose children are candidates for cochlear implants
  • Provides intensive (re)habilitation for children who use amplification and/or have cochlear implants

The SPARC Program is available to children aged 0-18 with a diagnosed permanent hearing loss and is available to children across Saskatchewan. For more information, please contact:

  • SPARC Program - Royal University Hospital (Saskatoon) at 306-655-0227
Referral Information
