CanDo 4Kids A helping hand for eyes and ears. We want children, young people and their families to live life focused on what they CAN do.

That’s why we formed in 1874: to provide support and services to children, young people and their families, who are blind, Deaf, have low vision, are hard of hearing, or have sensory needs. We work together to help them communicate better, connect easier, and live their best lives. Can:Do 4Kids, Townsend House also incorporates the Cora Barclay Listening and Spoken Language Program. Founded in 1945 and formerly known as the Cora Barclay Centre, it is Australia’s oldest listening and spoken language service for children who are deaf or hearing impaired. We’re proudly South Australia’s oldest children’s charity, and while a lot has changed since our early days, one thing has remained the same: our can do attitude.

πŸšŒπŸŽ‰ Today, bus drivers are getting LOUD for kids like Oscar!

Twelve-year-old Oscar was diagnosed with hearing loss at age two and wears hearing aids. With support from Can:Do 4Kids, he's building confidence, preparing for high school, and pursuing his passion for drawing and animation.

"I love Loud Shirt Day because I can share my hearing journey and get loud for other kids with hearing loss," says Oscar.

A huge thank you to the team at Torrens Transit for proudly wearing their loud shirts and helping raise awareness and funds so more children like Oscar can access the support they need. πŸ’™πŸ’›

Celebrating Olivia on Loud Shirt Day!

Diagnosed with hearing loss as a baby, Olivia received her first hearing aids at just 8 months old. But she couldn’t hear well enough to speak. By age 4, Olivia had cochlear implants and, with support from Can:Do 4Kids, learned to listen and speak.

Today, she's a confident 13-year-old who loves netball, volleyball, movies and dreaming big for her future. πŸ’™

This Loud Shirt Day, you're helping kids like Olivia access the support they need to communicate, connect and thrive.

Thank you to everyone getting loud for kids with hearing loss! πŸ‘•πŸŽ‰
