When your child is diagnosed with hearing loss, it can be a stressful time when you are inundated with new information. As parents, relatives and professionals who work with deaf and hard of hearing children, our Board is uniquely aware of the challenges families face when a child has been identified with hearing loss. For over 60 years, we have been a foundation dedicated to providing support to both the child and the family through our wrap around services.
Exciting Announcement!
FHSR is thrilled to be featured in a story on WGN, showcasing our Music to My Ears MTME – School Based Music Program and incredible partnerships with Merit School of Music and Child’s Voice.
Join FHSR Executive Director Kristen Van Dyke, Sally Blandon from Merit School and Wendy Deters from Childs Voice as they take you inside the Childs Voice classroom on an amazing journey where learning and play for deaf and hard of hearing children are intertwined.
These children are given the opportunity to grow in areas ranging from understanding the dynamics of music to honing verbal and gross motor skills.
BE A PART OF IT ALL.
Give the gift of hearing.
Every contribution to FHSR helps improve the lives of deaf and hard of hearing children.
We hope you will consider making a gift to support these children. Thank you!
