“Our son, Avyaan, has been attending CCHAT for a year now. Since Day 1, we have not only witnessed a lot of progress, but also how much our son loves attending CCHAT. With Avyaan’s personality showing on a daily basis and him trying to speak, hear and sing his favorite lullabies, we are truly thankful for the staff for the amazing work they do. We are truly grateful to CCHAT for everything they have done for our son and giving us hope when we felt hopeless after finding out about our son's hearing loss.”

CCHAT opened its doors in 1996 with the singular mission of teaching children who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) to develop the necessary listening and spoken language (LSL) skills required for lifelong success. Now in its 28th year, CCHAT has evolved to become the premier LSL program for DHH children in the greater Sacramento area. The program serves hundreds of students each year between its Rancho Cordova campus, mainstream services in local school districts and hearing screenings throughout the region. CCHAT envisions a future where the educational, social, and vocational success of these children is not limited by their hearing loss.
CCHAT's impact is evident when looking at students and alumni who are thriving on their hearing loss journey thanks to a foundation of listening and spoken language skills developed at CCHAT. After surviving the NICU, Reagan Wilson and her family found CCHAT at age 5. Thanks to CCHAT services, she is now a successful, social high school student, who excels both inside and outside of the classroom. Read her story by clicking on the "Meet REAGAN!" tab above.
