Review for Spokane Hearing Oral Program of Excellence (HOPE), Spokane, WA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I knew NOTHING about hearing loss until my son was late diagnosed with severe-to-profound hearing loss and didn’t get proper hearing aids until the age of two. As a result he had no language at all and started the Toddler Group when he was only grunting and crying to communicate. He started the Hope School just before he turned 3 years old and subsequently got bilateral cochlear implants. Over the next three years my son’s language skills absolutely made leaps and bounds. It was amazing and inspiring to watch his tremendous progress, so much so that he started kindergarten mainstreamed and is doing well and better than half his class (typically developing hearing students). I owe his success to Hope School and the amazing teachers and constant support they provide me in my son’s hearing journey. Hope School is family for life. When your child graduates they don’t stop caring. I still seek support when needed from them and we still attend many events they host. I can’t even imagine where my son would be at right now if it was not for the priceless gift of the listening and spoken language that Hope School provided for him and his friends. They really care and they are truly experts at what they do. Hope School was a dream come true for me and my family and they can be for you too!
