Mission
The Listen Foundation provides for and assists children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families, with access to a proven speech, language, and listening therapy method to help them achieve a life of independence. This includes providing support programs for families and professionals that are involved in helping these children achieve their goal of learning to listen and talk.
Program accomplishments
- Listening and Spoken Language Therapy Program is a parent-centered approach that focuses on listening as the primary input for learning spoken language. With the use of hearing aids and/or cochlear implants, these children learn to listen, comprehend spoken language and to speak and read. This is not a technique, but rather a way of life that is practiced daily. All families now have access to a Listen ReferralTherapist through telehealth videoconferencing where distance traveled, or other factors make this the most practical methodology.Expenses $224,352 · revenue $88,410
- The Listen CI (Cochlear Implant) Camp helps build a much-needed peer group for children with cochlear implants and their parents who are often navigating the mainstreamed and hearing loss communities alone. Camp encourages participants to share their experiences and learn from each other to address their needs at different ages and stages of development in a warm, accepting environment. For many, this is the only opportunity they have to spend time with other families whose children have cochlear implants. Children and their siblings gain self-confidence by seeing and relating to others like them.Expenses $134,915 · revenue $2,060
- Early Intervention Services is a statewide, home-based early intervention program that supports newly diagnosed children with hearing loss from birth to age three. The Listen Foundation contracts directly with state agencies responsible for delivering therapy services to infants and toddlers immediately following a hearing loss diagnosis. Integrating into this state-run but federally funded program for children with disabilities has been a decades-long effort. Historically, sign language has been the primary communication option presented to parents; however, the Listen Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that families also have access to Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) therapy. Once an LSL therapist is assigned to a family for weekly home visits, a portion of the cost is funded by the government. The Listen Foundation covers the remaining costs, including therapist travel expenses, as they serve an expanding metro area. Currently, the Listen Foundation holds contracts with eight state agencies.Expenses $25,997 · revenue $20,342
