How We Help Your Family
HOPE’s vision is for children who are deaf or hard of hearing to reach their full potential, pursue their dreams, and thrive in school, their community, and life.
We achieve this by partnering with parents who are the most important and influential educators in their child’s life and by providing highly specialized education and therapy to every child we serve.
Our Programs
We support family choice in their child’s mode of communication and offer listening and spoken language and ASL support through our in-home, birth to three program.
Listening and spoken language developmental education and speech therapy are offered through our Toddler and Preschool programs. Our preschool graduates enter kindergarten ready to learn alongside their hearing peers.
Learn more about each program below.
Birth to 3 Program
Receive early LSL/ASL intervention services at home or at our center to support your baby’s communication development. Our early intervention specialists provide hands-on training to help you confidently manage your child’s hearing devices, including hearing aids and cochlear implants.
Toddler Program
Toddlers participate in weekly play activities led by a Teacher of the Deaf (TOD) /Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) to support socialization and LSL/ASL development. They receive specialized instruction and music therapy while interacting with peers who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Preschool / Pre-K Program
Our specialized school environment features a 3:1 student-to-teacher ratio, led by master’s-level educators, including certified Teachers of the Deaf and Speech-Language Pathologists trained in LSL intervention. Our team provides individualized support for both academic and language development, tailored to each child to ensure a strong foundation for future success.
Music Program
Spokane HOPE’s music program for deaf and hard-of-hearing children turns every note into a language learning experience, helping them build vocabulary, rhythm, and communication skills through music. Through engaging songs, rhythms and movement, children build vocabulary, communication skills, and early literacy foundations – all while having fun!
Parent Connection
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.
