MEMPHIS ORAL SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF

The mission of the Memphis Oral School for the Deaf is empowering deaf children to listen, learn, and talk. Our whole history, educational philosophy, and programs revolve around this simple, yet powerful, statement.

In the case of children with hearing loss, additional resources are required in order to provide a solid educational foundation and an equal opportunity to succeed. Memphis Oral School for the Deaf exists for the purpose of ensuring that these unique resources are readily available to those young children who need them. With the combined support of MOSD and the community, deaf children in Memphis and the Mid-South area continue to have the opportunity to listen, learn, and talk.

Memphis Oral School for the Deaf (MOSD) is located in Germantown, Tennessee and works to empower deaf children to listen, learn, and talk. MOSD has been serving families from all over the Mid-South since 1959. We help profoundly deaf and hearing impaired children ages birth to six years old learn language during the most critical developmental stages of their lives. We believe that through early intervention and diagnosis, speech and language therapies, and advanced technologies and audiological services, deaf children can develop necessary listening and spoken language skills to become a part of, rather than apart from, a world of sound. We serve our Spanish population with an on-staff interpreter for MOSD parents while promoting bilingual language development for our Spanish-speaking children.
