The Oberkotter Foundation is helping families ensure their children who are deaf or hard of hearing have opportunities to reach their full potential through listening and spoken language. Vision: Early learning is critical to a child`s language development and lifetime success, and children who are deaf or hard of hearing will have the same opportunities as their hearing peers to capitalize on the critical early period for brain development. Quality pediatric audiology and listening and spoken language (LSL) intervention will be available and affordable for all families as close as possible to their baby`s birth or acquired hearing loss, and families will be empowered and equipped to effectively support their baby`s learning, language and literacy development.

HDR worked with local government, business and property owners, and community groups to bring them back.
