Casino Night 2024

SHARING OUR WHY We are grateful for your continued and generous support in helping us to create an environment where deaf and hard-of-hearing children and adults thrive by having the knowledge, opportunity and power to design the future of their choice.

As many as 70% of deaf children are experiencing severe language deprivation.

Among the families and communities of Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color (BIPOC) deaf children, the language deprivation is much more prevalent due to a systemic lack of access.

Language deprivation is defined as the lack of developmentally appropriate proficiency in any natural language. The consequences of language deprivation are devastating and impact a deaf child for the rest of their lives if not strongly addressed between birth and age five.

SHARING OUR WHY We are committed to eradicating language deprivation through our multiple programs including the Badavas Parent Infant Program, the Early Childhood Center, and our three school programs: Marie Philip School, Walden School, and Public School Partnerships.

When you choose to give to TLC, you will be investing in the future of more than 2,000 deaf and hard of hearing individuals, students, and families.

Thank you for making a difference!

For over 50 years TLC has demonstrated leadership in so many ways, but at the core of TLC's very existence is, access to language and communication is a fundamental human right. TLC creates the environment for the least restrictive access to communication. It's that fundamental! We have been connected with TLC for over 38 years. We support TLC because we can't just believe something without doing something.

Congratulations to the Board, Administration, Teachers and Staff for pursuing educational and communication excellence on campus and beyond, everyday. We celebrate your achievements and support your future!

The Badavas Family Bob, Kally, Peter & Stephanie
