Chattering Children



Welcome!

Hi !  My name is Julia. I am a Chattering Child.
Click here to hear me recite the Pledge of Allegiance !



Julia was born with a profound hearing loss. She received a cochlear implant at the age of 18 months and was enrolled in Chattering Children's auditory-verbal program. She graduated at age 5. She attends a regular school. (voice sample at age 5).


Chattering Children is a nonprofit organization.

We teach children with hearing loss to listen and speak.

We are looking for typically-developing children ages 3-9 who like to talk, to act as role models for children with hearing loss.  In addition to a small class size, we can provide financial assistance. For more information

New Parent Support Group to be held at Chattering Children's new Richmond location

Chattering Children will be host to a new parent-initiated support group for parents who have chosen a spoken language environment for their child (Auditory-Verbal, Auditory-Oral or Total Communication).  Any parent in the greater Richmond area is welcome to attend.  The group will provide a supportive environment for families to share feelings and information in an informal setting.  We will also invite speakers to briefly present information on such areas as audiology, tests and assessments, medical technology, disability law and strategies to promote spoken language development..  It will be held on the third Monday of each month from 7-8:30pm.  Childcare will be provided.

The first workshop will be held on November 17th. Please contact us for more information.
