Child’s Voice Honored With Service Award
Oak Brook Chamber Award Recognizes School for Children With Hearing Loss
Child’s Voice is thrilled to have received the Greater Oak Brook Chamber of Commerce Non-Profit Exceptional Service Award, honoring organizations whose service programming provides an exceptional experience for its clients leading to organizational success.
According to the GOBCC, “The passion of Child’s Voice staff, their expertise, and family-focused approach create a unique environment. This commitment is demonstrated in the longevity of its staff, some of whom have remained for more than 15 years. Staff are experts in audiology, early intervention, reading, mainstreaming, speech and language development, and early childhood education.
“As attested by a parent, “Child’s Voice not only taught our child to speak and to listen, despite his hearing loss, but also gave him critical self-advocacy skills which he uses today. We’re excited about his scholastic and personal success and to see where his ambition takes him. We can’t imagine where he’d be without Child’s Voice.” Congratulations Child’s Voice and thank you for delivering superior service to your deserving clients!”

“We are so honored to be partners with the Greater Oak Brook Chamber and business community. It is an incredible organization. We share this with our amazing families, staff, volunteers, and board of directors that do so much to change the lives of children with hearing loss!” said Child’s Voice Director of Advancement Kate Bousum.
Child’s Voice, based in Wood Dale and the Roscoe Village neighborhood in Chicago, helps children with hearing loss learn to listen and to speak. Students wear hearing aids and/or cochlear implants, and programs use a child-focused, research-based curriculum, all with the end goal of transitioning graduates back to their neighborhood schools. The Child’s Voice program serves nearly 400 children and their families each year.
