Nonprofit work: Hearts for Hearing

Here is a local organization that is recognized regionally and nationally for its big heart in teaching children with hearing impairments to listen and speak. Detecting hearing loss early is key and HFH assists in getting children who are deaf or hard of hearing amplified via cochlear implants or modern amplification aids prior to beginning listening and speech therapy. It is a very progressive therapy called auditory verbal that teaches children to listen, model and speak...thru listening, the children learn to speak and correct speech issues so they may be educated in the mainstream. Here is a sample of the photographs we took last week which I hope will open your eyes and melt your heart. WE received word a few of these are to be published by the AG Bell Group in the Volta Voices Journal out of DC. How exciting to have the opportunity to help this great organization and bring further awareness to this cause. ~aimee


















These two amazing women Teresa Caraway and Joanna Smith are the founders and chief operating officers and therapists of HFH. They not only founded HFH, but work hands on with the children and publish articles on the benefits and strategies of auditory verbal therapy.
