Childrens Voice Of North Texas

We founded children's voice of north texas in 2013 to help parents just like usparents who want their child who is hearing impaired to communicate through listening and speaking. When our daughter was born with severe- to-profound hearing loss, we were unsure what to do and spent the first six weeks trying to find out why she failed her newborn hearing screening and what it meant. When we were told that our newborn was deaf (and that it wasn't just fluid causing a temporary hearing loss), our minds raced wondering what to do, where to go and who to trust with the decisions that lay before us as parents and for our childs future. After learning about different options and technologies, we chose the auditory-verbal path for speech and language so our child will be able to communicate with everyone. Our daughter was initially fitted with hearing aids when she was four months old, had cochlear implant surgery at one-year of age and is preparing to attend kindergarten in a mainstream classr
