You have come to an excellent place to explore your deaf or hard of hearing child’s potential to listen, talk, grow and succeed. CID has nearly 95 years experience helping deaf children learn to listen and talk and putting them on the path toward happy and productive lives.
If you are a parent of a recently diagnosed baby, the Joanne Parrish Knight Family Center is the place for you and your family. Our teachers and counselors will help you begin to help your child develop listening, understanding, vocalizing and communication skills.
CID also offers a nursery class for 2-year-olds, a language-rich pre-k emphasizing emerging literacy and social skills and a primary department for the oral education of deaf and hard of hearing children through the 6th grade. All CID programs are designed to prepare children for mainstream educational settings. In a highly individualized, assessment-based program with a 5-1 or better student-teacher ratio, we weave speech, language and auditory instruction throughout the academics and offer music, art, physical education and computer instruction.
Our teachers, speech therapists and pediatric audiologists are dedicated, caring individuals with advanced degrees in deaf education and faculty appointments at Washington University School of Medicine. Their successes speak in the voices and everyday lives of our alumni, many of whom pursue higher education and professional careers.
I invite you to visit, meet our staff, families and children and learn what CID has to offer your child. Please contact us using a GET STARTED! link or call toll-free 888.444.4565 (ext. 135) to talk to us about your child.
