Mission: V.O.I.C.E.S. (which stands for Victory Over Impairments of Communication, Expression and Speech) is a non-profit organization founded in January, 2003 by Tamara Hill and Byron Jackson, parents of a child with severe communication impairment. VOICES is a direct result of the desire to network with parents and professionals who care about the unique issues speech disordered children face. Children with communication impairments, especially those from low-income communities, face particular barriers to early diagnosis and effective treatment, prevention and management of their communication impairment. Recognizing the need for timely and appropriate outreach to families of speech disordered children, the VOICES Association began piloting the Speech Disorder Awareness Program in communities throughout Southern California.
