LICA (Low Incidence Cooperative Agreement) serves students who are deaf or hard of hearing from age 3 through 21. We are a public school special education cooperative with 44 member school districts in the north and northwest Chicago suburbs. LICA provides diagnostic services, classroom instruction, itinerant support, and related services to our districts’ schools and their students and families.

Information regarding hearing screening failures should be transferred from the school nurse, public health nurse or technician... and be forwarded to the special education director, supervisor of hearing impaired programs, or child-find coordinator.

The LICA program for students who are deaf and hard of hearing has been designated, under the provisions of the Child Hearing Test Act, to assist you in these follow-up procedures, termed AUDIOLOGIC REVIEW.  The materials you can find in the link below explain an AUDIOLOGIC REVIEW and the manner in which LICA can facilitate your compliance with the Child Hearing Test Act.
