May was Better Hearing and Speech Month, and it was filled with insightful and inspirational links to videos and articles which we posted daily to our Facebook page. From a Charlie Rose roundtable about hearing loss, to four-year-old Chloe explaining her cochlear implants, they are worth checking out.

At Clarke we help children who are deaf and hard of hearing learn to listen and talk. Children served by Clarke use advanced technologies, including cochlear implants and hearing aids, to maximize their access to sound. We work with children and their families from infancy through their teen years. Our teachers of the deaf, audiologists, and speech pathologists have the background, training, and experience to prepare children academically and socially for a world of limitless possibilities. Clarke children listen and learn in the classroom, run and laugh with their friends on the playground, and have lives filled with music, sports, family, and community. Many children who come to Clarke are ready to attend their neighborhood mainstream schools by kindergarten.
