Friends, to say we are grateful is an understatement. Thanks to you, we raised $3,820 through our Find a Voice | FUND a Voice campaign. That's a whopping 52% over our goal! You continue to blow us away with your generosity. We could not do what we do without YOU. Thank you!
We have just one week left in our campaign! If you're considering giving, but wondering where exactly your dollars will go, meet the Scianna family. Their friendship and support has been invaluable to The Children's Center. Learn why they believe in The Children's Center, and why they think you should too.
Every dollar donated to our Find a Voice | FUND a Voice campaign goes directly to the Scianna Family Children's Center for Communication and Development Blair Scianna Memorial Endowment, which was established to help ensure that The Children's Center is able to continue doing life-changing work in Southern Mississippi.
Thanks so much!

This amount could provide one book, specifically adapted to suit the needs of our children with language and motor delays.
This amount could provide one toy specifically adapted to encourage play and communication among our children.
Adaptive switches are one of the ways our children who are non-verbal or who have significant language delays are able to communicate. Phrases are programmed into a large round "button" and our children press the button when they want to say that phrase.
At The Children's Center, we partner with Purposeful Refuge to provide hippotherapy (think horses, not hippos) for the children at The Center who can benefit from it. This type of therapy helps encourage the use of language or other forms of communication, as well as exercising important motor skills, all while having a whole lot of fun!
This amount could provide one month of hippotherapy for one child and one adaptive toy. (See above listing for descriptions.)
This amount could provide 2 adaptive switches (giving 2 children the ability to express themselves verbally) and 1 adapted toy. (See above listings for descriptions.)
We use a special kind of book (PODD book) as a form of communication for our children who are non-verbal or have language delays. For many children, this book is the key to being able to express themselves. This amount could provide one PODD book, allowing one child the opportunity to communicate with the world around him/her.
This amount could provide 2 PODD books, giving 2 children the ability to communicate with the world around them. (See above listing for description.)
At The Children's Center, we use sound systems to better communicate with children who have language delays or hearing impairments. These systems help our children hear more clearly, especially in settings with significant background noise. This amount could provide the microphone portion of this sound system, which is worn by our clinicians.
This amount could provide the speakers needed for the sound system described in the above listing.
