Causes: Education, Graduate & Professional Schools, Literacy, Preschools, Remedial Reading & Encouragement, Special Education
Mission: CID teaches children who are deaf and hard of hearing to listen, talk, read and succeed. We empower families and professionals in St. Louis and worldwide to help children reach their fullest potential.
Results: CID school alumni have attended at least 180 universities and achieved success in a wide gamut of professions — including careers in business, education, science, medicine, aviation, law and academia.
Target demographics: families and their children who are deaf and hard of hearing learn to listen, talk read and succeed.
Direct beneficiaries per year: 343 children and caregivers and 4,300 teachers, speech pathologists and audiologists
Geographic areas served: St. Louis
Programs: Each year, CID provides intensive assessment-and ability-based academic training and listening and spoken language education for students with hearing loss ages 0 to 12 years. CID serves children birth to 3 in the Joanne Parrish Knight Family Center by helping their families learn to work with them at home. In the toddler classes, children from 18 months to 2 years old receive small-group and one-on-one instruction from experienced teachers of the deaf and speech-language pathologists. The program features remote coaching, home visits and flexible scheduling. In CID's Anabeth and John Weil Early Childhood Center, teachers of the deaf and early childhood specialists help 2- to 5-year-olds build speech, language, pre-literacy, pre-academic and social skills in a child-friendly, language-rich environment. The CID Virginia J. Browning Primary School prepares children 6 to 12 years old to succeed in their own local schools. CID school children benefit from significant scholarship support, on-site pediatric audiology and occupational therapy, a school counselor who is deaf, before and after school care and a better than 4-1 student-teacher ratio. 100% of CID students who are deaf or hard of hearing receive 100% tuition support through school district contracts plus a generous community that supports our work. CID also offers practicum experiences for graduate students at local universities, continuing education courses for professionals and educational curricula and products used to help deaf children worldwide.
