Mission Statement

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.

About This Cause

When a child who is deaf or hard of hearing receives their hearing device(s), they suddenly have access to sound but their brain does not know how to process that sound. This agency provides a specialized therapy that teaches the child that sound has meaning. Once the child learns to identify individual sounds, they can learn to talk by listening. This is much the same way that typical hearing children learn to talk. This auditory based therapy method allows the children to fully participate in the hearing world and have the same opportunities in life as their hearing peers. Listen raises funds so that children whose family cannot afford to pay for this therapy can have access to it. Families apply for funding for therapy based on financial need and no child has been refused therapy due to their family’s inability to pay.
