Desert Voices is a non-profit school with the mission of teaching deaf and hard of hearing children how to speak and how to understand when others speak to them.
By teaching them spoken language, our students are prepared to enter a mainstream setting with speech, language, academic and social skills equal to those of their hearing peers.
Ultimately, we seek to help them become independent, successful individuals who can communicate with the world at large through the use of spoken language.
Our Story: Imagine you are a new parent. Your baby, one
of the 97% of newborns screened in Arizona for hearing loss, has
been diagnosed deaf or hard of hearing. You have found
Desert Voices in Phoenix where even infants and their families can
begin to gain the skills needed to use spoken language.
Desert Voices' missionis to teach each child, who are
deaf or hard of hearing, the oral language skills needed to talk
and understand when spoken to. Our goal is to prepare the children
and their family to mainstream into their school of choice with
hearing children their age.
Organization History: Desert Voices was founded in 1996 by
parents of children with hearing loss who believed spoken language
instruction provided their children with the greatest educational
and social opportunities. Desert Voices opened their doors
using a structured, language focused teaching curriculum with
one teacher for every two to three students. Today Desert
Voices serves families with infants to children age 5 or 6.
Our professionals collaborate with pediatricians, audiologists,
school districts, and state referral agencies in order to identify
these children and facilitate their enrollment in an appropriate
program.
