Description

Thank you for considering supporting our mission to transform lives of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, teaching them to listen, speak, and learn through:

  • Proven spoken language and cognitive development curriculum
  • Family-centered education
  • Innovative technology

We are a California 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation that has been serving children who are deaf or hard of hearing for 53 years. 


Our intensive education and therapy program teaching listening and spoken language to these children ages 0-6 so they can close the gap with hearing peers and succeed in mainstream education by the first grade.


A child who misses the window of neurological development will probably spend his or her school days in special education classes, falling progressively further behind, which is the outcome for up to 90% of children who are deaf or hard of hearing.


We are holding our annual fundraiser, themed “It’s a Small World” virtually this year on November 7.  Your donation will be used for scholarships, enabling children to attend school whose families otherwise could not afford it. 


Your generosity will be noticed! Donated items will be viewed and bid on our silent auction the week leading up to November 7. Sponsorship support will be recognized by social media acknowledgement, signage at the event, and/or program.

We hope to welcome you as a supporter of our special community.
