Hearing & Speech Center

About

The Yakima Hearing and Speech Center ( HSC ), Inc. a not for profit community agency, was established by the Yakima Rotary Club in 1971. Prior to this families of children with communication and hearing impairments had to travel to Seattle for evaluation and treatment services. During 1970 a parent group, the Yakima Hearing League, was formed to explore the establishment of services in this community. The League approached the Rotary Club of Yakima and working together the groups determined the need and resources required to provide communication services in our community. Following a year of planning the Yakima Hearing and Speech Center was established. The Rotary Club provided financial support to the Preschool Deaf Program provided by the Center until 198
