With the right technology, early intervention, and loving instruction, deaf and hard-of-hearing children can achieve what once seemed impossible—they can learn to listen and speak.
Spokane HOPE is the only program in eastern Washington offering this vital teaching from birth through preschool, ensuring children have the opportunity to thrive during their most critical developmental years. By gaining the ability to hear and speak, our students are empowered to chase their dreams and make a meaningful impact on the world around them.
This is the miracle of HOPE.
For any parent, hearing the words “your child is deaf” can bring a flood of questions, fears, and uncertainty. Xavier’s family faced this profound moment when they learned he was deaf. Hope seemed distant—until they found Spokane HOPE. Through our specialized teaching and support, Xavier’s life was transformed, opening new possibilities and a renewed sense of hope for Xavier’s future.

In addition to our student-focused programs, we host events for your family to connect and learn from other parents/educators about how to advocate for your child’s right to thrive in our hearing world.
