JOSH FOUNDATION
JOSH Foundation is an NGO co-founded by ENT surgeon Dr. Jayant Gandhi and Audiologist and Speech Language Pathologist Devangi Dalal in 2004. An unfaltering movement built by two equally motivated professionals, with the purpose of eliminating hearing impairment; their motto being “Hearing Handicap No longer a Handicap.” These remarkable efforts have produced results, by successfully providing 1700+ pairs of digital hearing aids to hearing-impaired children coming from underprivileged background. Their efforts have contributed to children of 14 schools wearing 100% digital hearing aids.
HUMANITARIAN AWARD
Devangi Dalal is widely known for being the first Indian Audiologist to win the “Humanitarian Award” by the American Academy of Audiology (AAA) in 2012 in Boston, Massachusetts (USA).
Devangi has not only worked as an Audiologist and Speech Language Pathologist but also has done research in field of her expertise. According to the statistics presented by WHO there is a probability that 4 out of every 1000 people are affected by hearing and speech impairment in India, out of which, almost 60% are children. It is also observed that this would push children into isolation, detaching them from society, as they can only be able to use the gestural language of communication.
These observations accumulated by Devangi unsettled her. One of them noted that a great number of schools accommodate those who have hearing loss, they often use gestural language. Detailed studies and analysis of several cases, have shown that a person can be able to hear and speak normally with proper diagnosis, quality digital hearing machine, and appropriate rehabilitation.
