The Clarke school New York campus is part
of the larger Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech.
As children move through the
system and start to grow and age they
enter our preschool program and in those
classes we provide support for speech
and language development, but the overall child's development so it really looks
like a typical preschool scene that you
would find in any neighborhood.
Children are singing and laughing and talking and
making friends and learning the kind
of skills that they really need to be
successful.
"...with pink and gold sparkles..."
When I found out that my son couldn't hear...
My first thought was, "My son is never going to talk."
Never gonna say mommy, that was my first thing.
"Charlie, Charlie."
I remember the person who referred me to the deaf school.
They said, "You're not alone, you have people that really care and worry about your kids."
I really like the way that everybody here works.
So I could say that going on this
path has been different, has been hard...
But at the same time, I'm so grateful for all the people that have been next to me
and to see that wherever the money you
could do or give to these kids is really
going to make a successful life, changing
the world.
We're so thankful to everyone at TD for supporting the campaign this year
and for enabling us to reach more families in more ways than ever before.
