This resource was previously known as the 'Early Support Monitoring Protocol for Deaf Babies and Children'. It was created to help families of deaf children and the people who support them to observe, monitor and record the progress that children make. 

This resource has been revised in consultation with families and professionals. It's designed to be used by families of deaf children from birth to 3 years old. It enables families and professionals to track their child's development in the following areas:

• communication and language
• listening and vocalising
• social development and wellbeing
• play and understanding
• physical development

'Success from the start' is designed to help you:

• share your observations of your child
• recognise the importance of what they’re doing now
• support you in asking questions and understanding your child’s development
• be clear about what sorts of things your child may do next
• think about what you and others can do to support your child progress
• guide your conversations with professionals, including Teachers of the Deaf

This resource is 160 pages long. Please consider before printing.
