DIXON, CA (MPG) – Recently, Soroptimist International of Dixon (SI Dixon) had the opportunity to hear from Licia Green, the Development Director of Children’s Choice for Hearing and Talking (CCHAT). Soroptimist International of Dixon was delighted to discover the extensive work this organization does for children who are deaf and hard of hearing, empowering them to engage confidently in mainstream society. 

Soroptimist International of Dixon wants to raise awareness for anyone who might benefit from their services. Although based in Rancho Cordova, the organization supports children throughout Solano County.

Green explained that the success of their programs stems from their focus on age-appropriate speech, language and literacy skills, combined with the expertise of their dedicated staff, family involvement and a low child-to-teacher ratio.

Raising awareness is crucial; the sooner families discover Children’s Choice for Hearing and Talking (CCHAT), the faster they can bridge the skills gap. The best way to begin is by reaching out to Children’s Choice for Hearing and Talking (CCHAT), as early awareness can significantly help close the skills gap.

One of the main challenges they encounter is funding, which affects the difference between what school districts contribute and the actual costs of running the program. However, this does not impact the quality of their services or programs, which are managed exceptionally well.
