Listen Foundation

Face of Listening and Spoken Language Therapy
Todd Hallberg, Executive Director

For over 50 years, the Listen Foundation has been dedicated to providing Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) services to children with hearing differences. Driven by the belief that every child deserves access to therapy regardless of their family’s ability to pay, the Listen Foundation removes financial and educational barriers through one-on-one LSL therapy, helping children develop spoken language skills, available in person or via telehealth, along with parental support and music-based intervention.

“Our dedicated team of LSL therapists provides personalized support to help deaf and hard-of-hearing children find their voices,” says executive director Todd Hallberg. “Beyond the clinic, our community programs create joyful spaces for learning, connecting, and building student confidence.”

These programs include the Listen Cochlear Implant (CI) Camp, Listen, Talk and Sing classes focused on Listening and Spoken Language development. Educational sessions for parents and professionals, and an Ask-A-Parent program that connects families for peer support. By partnering with local professionals, schools, and early intervention providers across Colorado, the Listen Foundation strengthens outcomes for children at every level of hearing loss.

“Our goal is simple,” Hallberg explains. “Remove barriers, build skills, and ensure every family feels supported by a community that believes in their child’s potential.”
