Katie's House

We have formed a partnership with the Hearing Speech & Deaf Center of Greater Cincinnati. We will be renovating 3,500 square feet of office space on Burnet Avenue within the Hearing Speech & Deaf Center where children can have their speech, language, audiology and occupational therapy needs met in a nurturing, comfortable, home-like environment. In addition to treating speech-language disorders, children with other presenting conditions such as autism, sensory processing disorders, and effects of chronic trauma will also receive services.  Katie's House will also serve mothers and fathers who need support and education.  We anticipate as many as 95% of families who will be served will be from disadvantaged backgrounds.  Katie's House will provide therapy to children needed for their wellness regardless of the families' ability to pay!

It will be named “Katie’s House” in honor and memory of Katie Haumesser.  Katie's House will have a living room (group room), dining room (parent room), kitchen (activities of daily living), bedrooms (individual), and a gym (occupational therapy).  It will be the first of its kind facility for children with special needs!
