Listen, Speak, and Learn
Innovative technology such as cochlear implants and advanced hearing aids allow babies and children who are deaf or hard of hearing to hear sounds, opening the door to spoken language. Weingarten’s early intervention and intensive spoken language education and therapy teaches children to listen, speak, and learn, enabling them to succeed in mainstream education.
Transforming lives of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, teaching them to listen, speak, and learn through:
proven spoken language and cognitive development curriculum
family-centered education
innovative technology
Do you want your child to listen, speak, and learn?
ACT NOW. Babies’ neural connections are 15X adults’; they can form brain pathways for language if they learn by age three. As the brain prunes pathways not used, it becomes progressively harder for children to acquire language as they get older.
TEACH LANGUAGE. Babies who are deaf or hard of hearing have less access to sound, even with technology, and they spent major portions of their lives in silence before they received the technology. They need intensive language education and therapy to acquire language and close the gap with hearing peers (who develop language naturally).
Our Impact
- 80%+ of our graduating kindergarteners transition to mainstream school by first grade.
- 80%+ of our adult alumni are in college or hold bachelors or higher degrees.
- Compare that with 50% of children in the US who are deaf or hard of hearing graduate from high school with a fourth grade level of literacy or below.
