St. Louis Area

Leaders since 1837

Armed with nearly two centuries of experience, we’re proud to provide forward-thinking services for children with hearing loss in St. Louis and the surrounding areas.  An international leader in Listening and Spoken Language (LSL), our staff of Deaf Educators, Speech Therapists, Audiologists, and LSL Educators help children and their families move forward after a diagnosis of hearing loss.  Our holistic and family-focused approach translates to hundreds of children entering our highly communicative society as full members.

Early intervention services, bringing our deaf educators to your living room, or wherever you may be, to teach you, alongside your child, so that the speech therapy continues in your day-to-day life, long after the session.
