SUPPORT THE GLOBAL MOVEMENT

Help make it possible for children who are deaf and hard of hearing to learn to listen, speak, and thrive!

In 1943 Louise Tracy pioneered a worldwide movement, offering one of the nation's very first spoken-language education and support programs for infants and young children with hearing loss. By becoming a supporter of JTC, you're helping children who are deaf and hard of hearing develop speech, language and listening skills, and equipping parents with the knowledge, support and training necessary to help their children achieve their full potential.

COVID-19
(as of June 2021)

During the pandemic, JTC is continuing all its critical services for children with, or at risk of, hearing loss.

Response to COVID-19 Global Pandemic

During the ongoing uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, JTC pivoted quickly to provide services with minimal disruption. All of JTC's education services transitioned to remote learning within 48 hours in March 2020 and for the rest of our fiscal 2020 year ending in August 2020.

As we entered into September 2020, there continued to be a number of challenges and uncertainties for our teachers and preschoolers due to the uncertainties of the pandemic. Preschoolers attended virtually from March to October 2020, hybrid in-person and virtual from October until Thanksgiving, virtually from Thanksgiving through January 2021, and in person from February through the end of the school year in June 2021. School-age DHH itinerant support services were provided remotely by our DHH teachers in the 2020-21 school year. Families that receive parent-infant services, LSL-AVT and/or SLP were able to meet with their therapist through weekly remote teletherapy sessions.
