Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech provides children who are deaf and hard of hearing with the listening, learning, and spoken language skills they need to succeed.
Description
With campuses in Northampton and Canton, MA; New York City; Philadelphia and Bryn Mawr, PA; and Jacksonville, FL, Clarke provides family-centered early intervention and preschool programs, K-8 programs, and mainstream support for children who are deaf and hard of hearing. Clarke's five key themes are:

Listening and Speaking - Clarke teaches children how to listen and speak, laying the foundation of language and communication for fully engaged lives.
Family Partnerships - Clarke partners with families as they navigate the learning process, helping them to identify options and make informed choices to maximize their child’s potential.
Whole Child Approach - Clarke responds to the needs of the whole child - social, academic, psychological - creating confidence and independence.
