In Celebration of the Clarke Team

When a global pandemic descended in March 2020, Clarke professionals’ lives changed immediately. In addition to navigating the personal impacts of this historic event, Clarke’s team, including teachers of the deaf, speech-language pathologists, building services crews, paraprofessionals, finance professionals, audiologists, teachers’ aides and administrative staff, swiftly pivoted to ensure the organization could continue to provide the life-changing services that children and families require. Faced with challenges of being remote, hybrid or on-site—and in some cases a mixture of all three models—while adhering to strict health and safety guidelines for themselves, children and clients, this team has made an unforgettable collective impact to sustain education and support across all five Clarke sites.
