Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
SCHOOL PROGRAM: FOR NEARLY 25 YEARS, CHILD'S VOICE HAS EMPOWERED CHILDREN WITH HEARING LOSS FOR A LIFETIME OF LEARNING ALONGSIDE THEIR HEARING PEERS. PARENTS ARE GIVN THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THIER CHILD WITH THE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES THEY NEED. CHILD'S VOICE PARTNERS WITH FAMILIES WITH THE END GOAL OF PREPARING EACH STUDENT TO MOVE INTO THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND ATTEND THEIR LOCAL, MAINSTREAM SCHOOLS. AS THE ONLY PRIVATE SCHOOL IN NORTHREN ILLINOIS THAT SUPPORTS THIS UNDERSERVED POPULATION, WE PROVIDE SPECIALIZED DEAF EDUCATION TO CHILDREN AND THIER FAMILIES.THE SCHOOL PROGRAM IS A SCHOOL-AGE, CLASSROOM-STYLE, LISTENING AND SPOKEN LANGUAGE PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN AGED 3-8. STUDENTS RECEIVE AN INTENSIVE CLASSROOM EDUCATION FOCUSED ON LANGUAGE AND AUDITORY SKILL DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS KEY ACADEMIC COMPONENTS AND SOCIAL INTERACTIONS.
EARLY INTERVENTION: CHILDREN BEGIN LISTENING EVEN BEFORE THEY ARE BORN. LEARNING THE SOUNDS OF THEIR MOTHER, HEARING HER VOICE, HER HEARTBEAT. THOSE EARLY DAYS AND YEARS ARE SPENT ABSORBING ALL THE SOUNDS AND VOICE AROUND THEM. WHEN AN INFANT/TODDLER IS DIAGNOSED WITH HEARING LOSS THEY HAVE LOST THAT EARLY EXPOSURE TO SOUND. THAT CHILD IS NOW WORKING TO CLOSE THE GAP IN THAT EARLY LEARNING. CHILD'S VOICE STRIVES TO BRIDGE THAT GAP.THE EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM PROVIDES A FOUNDATION OF LISTENING AND SPOKE LANGUAGE SKILLS TO CHILDREN FROM BIRTH THROUGH THREE YEARS OLD. THIS IS SHARED THROUGH HOME BASED SERVICES (INDIVIDUALIZED SPEECH AND LISTENING THERAPIES ALONG WITH PARENT EDUCATION SUPPORT), THE BABY VOICES GROUP (A BI-MONTHLY GROUP SESSION FOR PARENTS AND INFANTS/TODDLERS 4 WEEKS - 17 MONTHS TARGETING PARENT EDUCATION, SOCIAL INTERACTION AND SUPPORT), AND THE TODDLER GROUP (A GROUP EXPERIENCE THAT PROVIDES SOCIAL INTERACTION, A VARIED LANGUAGE/LISTENING ENVIRONMENT AND LANGUAGE/VOCABULARY EXPOSURE FOR CHILDREN 18 MONTHS - 3 YEARS WITH THIER PARENTS).
AUDIOLOGY CENTER & PEDIATRIC EARLY HEARING DETECTION & INTERVENTION (PEHDI) PROGRAM: THE AUDIOLOGY CENTER PROVIDES SERVICES TO ALL CHILDREN IN THE SCHOOL PROGRAM AS WELL AS MANY OF THOSE ATTENDING THE GROUPS IN THE EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM. THESE SERVICES INCLUDE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, EVALUATION AND DEVICE (HEARING AIDS/COCHLEAR IMPLANTS) SUPPORT. ADDITIONALLY, THE PEDIATRIC EARLY HEARING & INTERVENTION (PEHDI) PROGRAM OFFERS DIAGNOSTIC TESTING TO IMPROVE THE FOLLOW UP OF FAMILIES WITH NEWBORNS/INFANTS AT RISK FOR HEARING LOSS AND INCREASING THE TIMELINESS OF DIAGNOSIS WHEN A LOSS IS PRESENT. WITH THE AMAZING AND CONTINUED ADVANCEMENTS IN TECHNOLOGY, EARLY IDENTIFICATION, AND EARLY INTERVENTION SERVICES, CHILDREN WITH HEARING LOSS CAN DEVELOP THE SKILLS TO LISTEN AND TO SPEAK. THIS BEGINS WITH EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND GOOD ACCESS TO SOUND, BOTH OF WHICH CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE AUDIOLOGY CENTER AT CHILD'S VOICE. WHEN CHILDREN LEAVE CHILD'S VOICE THEY ARE BETTER PREPARED FOR SUCCESS. THE CURRICULUM AND THERAPIES SHARED PROVIDE THE BUILDING BLOCKS NEEDED FOR THESE CHILDREN TO ACHIEVE GREAT THINGS. THEY HAVE BUILD A STRONG FOUNDATION THAT ENABLES THE STUDENT AND THIER FAMILIES TO SUCCEED. THE WONDERFUL SUCCESS OF THE MANY CHILD'S VOICE GRADUATES IS DUE, IN LARGE PART, TO THE EARLY EDUCATION THEY RECEIVED AT CHILD'S VOICE. WE OFTEN SAY THAT A FUTURE PRESIDENT WALKS IN OUR HALLWAYS.
