The Deaf Education Website

The Oberkotter Foundation/Oral Deaf Education
Many profoundly deaf children are using spoken
language effectively to communicate because of the combination of
powerful hearing aids and cochlear implants that maximize their
listening potential, and the appropriate auditory/oral teaching
strategies that help them develop oral language skills. Deaf children
are learning to listen and speak for themselves at
Oral Deaf Education Schools. This site provides information
about the programs and services of over 40 such schools in the United
States, Canada and the United Kingdom, each dedicated to teaching
deaf or hard-of-hearing children to listen and talk.
