May is Speech & Language Awareness Month and we'll be celebrating Dress Loud Day... All May Long! Join VOICE in raising awareness and support for children with hearing loss so they can thrive academically and socially.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Have your school, class or workplace dress up in their brightest, wackiest clothing on any day in May 2024 to celebrate the unique ways that children with hearing loss show up in the world. Send a picture of your LOUDEST outfits to dressloudday@voicefordeafkids.com for a chance to win one of our raffle prizes!

Schools or workplaces who wish to help fundraise for VOICE for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children can also collect small donations from those who choose to participate in Dress Loud Day. Donations can be made HERE. 

What your donation and support will do: 

-Give parents the support & hope they need in raising their child with hearing loss

-Enable children to become fully independent & integrated members of the community

-Providing acceptance to an often misunderstood population within your communities

-Provide the general public with information about children & hearing loss

-Advocate for, and on behalf of, children with hearing loss to attain critical supports and services crucial to the wellbeing of children with hearing loss & their families.

With the help from various Ontario Certified Teachers of the deaf, we have developed ready-made lesson plans and activities aimed at raising awareness and building education around the deaf and hard of hearing community. Learn more below!
