Impact Stories

Truman was born profoundly deaf

Truman was born profoundly deaf. When we learned of this, we were overwhelmed with the decisions we had to make. Thankfully, we found our way to GROD after lots of research. We moved to Kent county just so Truman could be in the GROD program and we are thankful every day for it! GROD has given Truman the tools he needs to listen & speak with his cochlear implants. They have also fostered a love of school and learning! GROD has also been a tremendous support for our family. We have never once regretted our decision to move and be a part of the GROD family!

Parent Quote

We cannot express enough our love for the GROD program. The welcoming support and the reassurance that has been given to our family will never be forgotten.
