"You gave our family support and direction at a time when we truly needed it. Your work with our son, and with our family, gave us a wonderful foundation on which we continue to grow and learn. I have such confidence when I got to an IEP or meet with education or health care professionals in part because of the education you gave me."

"Listen and Talk provided me with tremendous help during my crucial language learning period. My family views Star, my therapist, as our benefactor. She didn't just teach me how to use my residual hearing and use spoken language, but she also guided me to use my thinking skills. Now I can function as a normal person, and nobody notices that I have a hearing loss, until they see my hearing aids, F.M. system or I tell them! I would just like to thank Listen and Talk for being such a large and helpful part of my life!"
-- JE, alumni student
"In my opinion, working with Listen and Talk made our child's integration into mainstream kindergarten a success. It prepared him in so many ways to successfully step in and be comfortable. He was prepared to answer questions such as "Why do you wear hearing aids?" It gave him confidence. Now he can just focus on being a kid, not a kid with a hearing impairment."
-- CS, parent
"Listen and Talk helped our family chart our daughter's development and know how she is progressing compared to other children her age. They give us invaluable ideas on how we can encourage her listening and speaking development. They are our coaches and have made dealing with a difficult situation very rewarding. The program allows us to connect with other parents who are going through, or have been through, the same thing so that we don't feel like we're all alone."

"We have no worries about our daughter- she's very functional, very advanced. Even in her reading she is a star. Strangers have no problem understanding her."
