Mission Statement
Our organizations mission is to teach deaf children the spoken language skills needed to talk and to understand when other talk to them. The children are taught academics, including reading, math, science, and social studies. We also help develop each child's self-confidence in a carefully structured and nurturing environment, which allows the child to develop a positive self-image to reach his or her full potential. The ultimate goal for our students is to leave Desert Voices with age appropriate language and academic skills so they can "mainstream" into a traditional school setting with hearing children their age.
