NORTHERN VOICES MAKES A DIFFERENCE
WE CELEBRATE OUR 2025-26 DATA
Northern Voices provides the highest dosage of listening and spoken language early intervention in the state of Minnesota for children with hearing loss. Children with cochlear implants benefit significantly from early and intensive intervention.
In our 25-year history, testing data on students moving from Northern Voices to kindergarten settings of parent choice consistently shows Northern Voices students performing comparable to hearing peers (i.e. in the average range) on standardized testing instruments measuring overall language skills, receptive vocabulary, and expressive vocabulary. Our test scores continue to climb!
A recent Northern Voices alumni survey showed respondents reporting a 100% high school graduation rate.
