Since 1954, Savannah Speech & Hearing Center has served our community with a mission to provide access to services that empower and transform lives of both children and adults, regardless of their financial means.
We offer speech and hearing services for all ages, pediatric occupational and physical therapy, a weekly stroke survivor support group and since 2007, Sound Start.
Sound Start provides intensive instruction for children with cochlear implants or hearing aids, teaching them to make full use of their listening technology and develop spoken language skills. Our goal is for these children to successfully transition into mainstream elementary classrooms. It is a life-changing program for both the children and their families.
Volunteers are appreciated in helping read stories, in arts & crafts projects and in general, immersing our kids in spoken language.
- Volunteers are currently needed from 9:30am until 2pm, Monday through Friday.
- Any availability of at least 2 hours is appreciated!
- A background check and signing of a HIPAA and nondisclosure agreement is required.
- Please note, Sound Start's classrooms are only accessible by stairs.
