My Story…
I run for Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech because it gives children who were born deaf the hope to hear, listen, and speak. Hearing or speaking without support is something many of us take for granted, but for these children, it’s truly life changing. My good friend’s sister was born deaf and attended Clarke School. With the help of cochlear implants and the support she received at Clarke, she gained the ability to hear. She is one of the nicest people I know. Seeing the impact Clarke had on her life is the real reason I run this race. I’m happy to run in honor of my friend’s sister and all the children whose lives are transformed by Clarke.
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.
