For children,

early intervention is the best way to ensure that a child with communication needs is prepared for school. The identification and treatment of hearing, speech and language disorders is critical to academic success. Your gift could help us ensure accessibility to quality intervention, therapeutic and support services to all children - no matter their ability to pay.

For older adults,

untreated hearing loss impedes access to services and adds additional costs to Medicare and other health programs due to loss of independence, social isolation, depression, safety issues and reduced quality of life. Proper diagnosis and treatment of speech, language and hearing problems is essential to improving their ability to communicate with doctors, family members and service providers; in fact it is critical for functional independence.

For students,

art, music and athletic programs lay a critical foundation for lifelong learning. For children with developmental delays, hearing loss or speech-language challenges, enrichment activities mean so much more - they foster a sense of independence, teach critical social skills and improve academic achievement. In short, they give a child a voice in the world.
