Hello! Thank you for supporting Aster's amazing pre-school, Northern Voices, a school focused on speech and language for kids with hearing loss. This school has been an invaluable resource in Aster's education, but also a supportive community for all of us for over two years.
We first started working with Northern Voices two years ago while living in Fargo, ND. We attended weekly teletherapy sessions with a Northern Voices teacher who helped us learn the best methods and strategies to provide Aster with access to listening and spoken language after receiving cochlear implants. These sessions were often hard work (mostly for us!) but our NV teacher always made us feel supported, listened to our concerns, and helped us celebrate all of Aster's success.
Since moving back, we continued weekly teletherapy sessions throughout the summer and enjoyed participating in virtual summer activities with more talented and amazing NV teachers. Erin and the board worked tirelessly to design a COVID-response plan for reopening in the fall and we have been so fortunate to have had in-person learning all year long. Aster is thriving at Northern Voices and loves her teachers and friends so much. We are excited to return for another year!
We are so grateful for this program and the incredible teachers who teach and love their students! Please consider making a donation to help keep this program strong and accessible for all twin cities families who wish to enroll their child.
