Each May, National Speech-Language-Hearing Month (formerly known as Better Speech and Hearing Month) raises awareness about hearing loss and communication disorders. For 57 years, Summit Speech School has been steadfast in our mission: to empower children with hearing loss to become effective communicators using Listening and Spoken Language.

Our team of Teachers of the Deaf, Speech Language Pathologists, Audiologist, Occupational Therapist, Physical Therapist, and Paraprofessionals work tirelessly to make sure our students are able to achieve educational outcomes like those of their hearing peers.

In this video, Lauren M. a 4th grader who receives Teacher of the Deaf Services in our Itinerant Mainstream Support Program, is able to explain that the ears are the gateway to the brain. As she explains, with proper amplification (to remove obstructions to the gateway) and intensive Listening and Language therapy, our students thrive.

Providing these life-changing educational services is costly. For example, transportation for our Teachers of the Deaf to meet with children in their schools is approximately $1,500 per month. The average expense for professional development per staff member is $400 annually. Our team is a leader in the field and requires the latest information on current hearing technology and Listening and Spoken Language research so they can best serve their students and families.

This is where you come in! Your support is crucial. By making a donation to Summit Speech School, you ensure that more students like Lauren have the chance to reach their full potential. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes an impact. Please donate today and help us to continue to transform the lives of children with hearing loss.
