WHO WE ARE
VOICE for Hearing Impaired Children was
established in the early '60s by parents to offer support to other
families with children who are deaf and hard of hearing. These Toronto
parents wanted their hearing impaired children to be educated alongside
their hearing peers in regular schools. By working collectively they
succeeded in achieving this goal and had the tremendous benefit of
sharing information and providing support to one another.
Families continue to connect through the VOICE network. Our registered
charity has thrived over the years and has developed into one of the
largest parent support organizations for families of children with
hearing loss. VOICE maintains approximately 1,000 members, in 17
chapters within Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec.
The organization is governed by a Board of Directors composed of parents
representing all chapters and friends of the organization. The central
office is based in Toronto. Join us and become part of the
future for hearing impaired children and
their families.
