Mission: The Phoenix Center for Hearing Impaired Children was founded in 1984 to provide Auditory-Verbal Therapy to deaf and other hearing impaired children in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. With today's highly advanced technology in hearing aids and cochlear implants, along with state mandated hearing screening for newborns, such children who receive this intensive one-on-one therapy early learn to hear sounds that they can imitate, thereby learning to understand others, speak well, attend regular schools and be part of the hearing world. Children must begin as early as possible to be successful in this method and all children are in regular day care or preschools while attending therapy 1,2, or 3 times per week with a parent who is taught how to teach the child how to hear. These children do not need to learn sign language nor do they need to attend schools for the deaf because they become fully auditory and verbal children.
Programs: The Phoenix Center's highly trained, credentialed and experienced staff provide direct therapy, medical and school liaison services, parent training, a book and video library, a parent mentoring program, a helpline and referral service, evaluations and consultation. Our therapists have advanced degrees and certification in Auditory-Verbal Therapy from Auditory-Verbal Int'l. As a non-profit, no family is turned away for inability to pay for services.
