What We Do
Desert Voices' mission is to teach each child, who are deaf or hard of hearing, the oral language skills needed to talk and understand when spoken to. Our goal is to prepare the children and their family to mainstream into their school of choice with hearing children their age.
We offers a comprehensive listening and spoken language program which includes individual Parent Coaching Sessions, Jump Start, Toddler, and Preschool Classrooms. Our team of professionals work with infants as young as four weeks old through age five or six.

Desert Voices Parent
"I’ll never forget how overwhelmed we were when we first learned of our son's hearing loss. Those feelings have since dissipated and have been replaced with knowledge and know-how necessary to advocate for our son. We have a lot to learn but with your support and the support of DV and our son's audiologist, we feel ready to take on any challenges that come our way. " - Desert Voices Parent
Our Impact
