Spokane HOPE was honored to recognize Dr. Jerry Northern, whose pioneering work in pediatric audiology has transformed the lives of countless deaf and hard of hearing children and families.

From advancing universal newborn hearing screening to staring the Colorado Hearing Foundation and co-authoring foundational texts that have educated generations of professionals, Dr. Northern’s impact on the field is immeasurable.

We are especially proud that his daughter, Amy Hardie, Spokane HOPE’s Education Director and longtime Teacher of the Deaf, continues his legacy of service to DHH children and families.

One photo captures a special full circle moment of Dr. Northern’s great-grandson receiving a newborn hearing screening, which is a reflection of the life-changing work he helped champion.

Thank you, Dr. Northern, for a lifetime of leadership, innovation, and dedication. Your work has changed lives and continues to inspire generations of professionals, educators, and families. ❤️ American Academy of Audiology OPTION AG Bell Association for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing Amy Northern Hardie

Happy National SLP Day to our very own Rachel Hoey and Caitlin McCaslin!

We are so thankful for the incredible care they give to our deaf and hard of hearing kiddos every. single. day.

They do so much more than speech therapy. They celebrate first words, cheer on big milestones, they show up early, stay late, they jump in whenever our classrooms need an extra hand, they wipe boogers! They truly do it all…
Most importantly, they help our kiddos learn to listen and talk with confidence!!

We are so beyond grateful for the heart and dedication they bring to HOPE each and every day!

We are so thankful for partners like Fairwinds Spokane! Their residents came together in such a fun and generous way, raising funds through bingo nights and fitness challenges over the last several months!!!

Support like this truly means the world to us. It’s because of caring partners like Fairwinds that we’re able to continue serving children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families.

During circle time, one of our sweet toddlers was greeting her friends with waves and vocalizations while her Teacher of the Deaf modeled clear spoken language alongside her communication attempts. These everyday interactions are powerful opportunities for language growth.
The Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) strategy “Model Language” helps children who are deaf or hard of hearing build neural connections in the brain, strengthen the auditory feedback loop, and develop receptive and expressive language skills. By consistently hearing meaningful language modeled just above their current level, children gain exposure to new vocabulary, grammar, and spoken language patterns in natural, engaging moments.
