Information
The Center for Hearing and Speech (formerly known as Houston School for Deaf Children) is a non-profit, United Way agency that teaches children with hearing impairments speaking, listening and literacy skills.
CHS was founded in 1947 by four parents who wanted their children with hearing impairments to communicate by speaking instead of using sign language.
Each year, CHS provides education, audiology, speech pathology and family support services to more than 1,200 children with mild to profound hearing loss and to thousands of others with needs related to hearing loss. It is the only full-service resource in Houston that specializes in Oral Deaf Education. |
