Five-year-old Haley is a very funny and kind young lady.  She has endured lots of surgeries and therapies and she continues to persevere with a smile.  Every day is an accomplishment for her.

Haley was born with Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS) but not diagnosed until this past year. TCS is a condition that affects the development of bones and other tissues of the face. Most affected people have underdeveloped facial bones, particularly the cheek bones, and a very small jaw and chin (micrognathia). Other features may include cleft palate, eye abnormalities, and hearing loss.

Haley’s parents would like for her to learn to listen and talk. Ohio Valley Voices is an oral school for the deaf that will teach her to access and decipher the sounds she hears and will allow her to mainstream into her typical neighborhood school by the time she reaches 3rd grade.
