Abstract: Faranak Program is a Parent-Child Mother Goose Program which uses Cued Speech with parents of hearing impaired kids under three years old in an orally setting environment (Movallali,2012). The Parent-Child Mother Goose Program® is a group experience for parents and their babies and young children which focuses on the pleasure and power of using rhymes, songs, and stories together. Parents gain skills and confidence which can enable them to create positive family patterns during their children's crucial early years, and give their children healthy early experiences with language and communication. The Program can be run in a variety of settings and can be offered either to a particular client group or to the public at large. We used the pleasure and power of rhymes, songs and stories taught and experienced orally in a group setting to nurture the parent-child relationship and to foster family wellness in families of deaf babies (under 3 years old).Weekly sessions were held for the group of parents with their children. Pre-test ,post-test was used to evaluate their stress level, acceptance and mental health. The Faranak parent-Child(Mother goose) program can be used as an effective early intervention program which has both psychological and audiological, rehabilitation aspects in it for newly diagnosed hearing impaired infants and their parents.
