Weingarten Children’s Center, operating as part of the Foundation for Hearing Research, is a nonprofit organization that provides listening and spoken language education for children aged 0 to 6 who are deaf or hard of hearing. The organization emphasizes family-centered education and uses a curriculum focused on spoken language and cognitive development, supported by innovative technology. Its primary clients are families seeking early intervention and language development for young children with hearing loss, with services that help children learn to listen and speak while coaching parents. The center traces its origins to 1967, when parents of children with hearing loss founded it as a model of excellence on the San Francisco Peninsula. It is based in Redwood City, California, and operates as a small to mid-sized nonprofit in the broader individual and family services sector.

The organization runs four service lines: Weingarten Children’s Center itself as an early-intervention school and clinic, the BabyTalk Teleintervention Program developed with Stanford, TeachLSL, a distance listening and spoken language program, and Talk2Me, a digital parent learning program with live coaching. It is a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit delivering education, therapy, and parent coaching throughout California via both in-person and remote formats. The center sits within the broader education and health services landscape that supports families dealing with pediatric hearing loss. Its on-site services are centered in the Redwood City area, while programs extend across California via tele-intervention.
