In September 2024, Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech will celebrate 25 years of teaching New York City area children who are deaf or hard of hearing to listen and talk.
Opening in 1999 with five young students in two preschool classrooms, Clarke New York now serves nearly 200 children and families each year. Our range of services has expanded to our Birth to Age Three Program, five Preschool classrooms (for children with and without hearing loss), tVisit Teleservices and Audiological Services. (Learn more about Clarke New York.)
To celebrate our 25th year in 2024, we are looking for updates from Clarke New York alums and raising support for the children and families who continue to receive education and care at Clarke New York. Gifts of any size help Clarke New York offer our specialized programs at no cost to eligible families.
