View Team Clarke PageMy Story…
This year I am running the Falmouth road race with team Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech. Clarke spealizes in children who are deaf and/or hard of hearing and teaches them learning, listening as well as spoken language skills. When I was little, my family discovered that I was deaf and provided me the opportunity to attend Clarke. This opportunity allowed me to be in the environment and classroom with other kids just like me. I am so grateful for my teachers and family who helped me transition into mainstream schools and be a part of the "hearing" world. Now at 23, I am succeeding on an every day basis in the "real world" working a full time job. I am eager to help pave the path so other kids can have the same amazing opportunity I had and achieve whatever dreams they may have. Therefore I am raising money for Clarke Schools this year. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated.
Description
At Clarke we teach children who are deaf or hard of hearing 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-language 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 schools by preschool and kindergarten.
In addition to our work with children, we serve families and adults through a wide range of programs and services. With our extensive staff of experts, physical locations along the Eastern Seaboard and a robust teleservices program delivering services remotely, we strive to reach people with hearing loss at all stages of life.
