Through a Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction partial funding under the IDEA Discretionary Grant Program, this website is being made available to provide parents, educators, speech and language pathologists, audiologists, and other community service providers with the most up to date and accurate information about successful public school programs that serve students with hearing losses that are learning to listen and to speak.

Our programs for deaf and hard of hearing students have historically provided invididual programming that consistently enables each child to reach full academic, social-emotional, vocational, and linguistic competence.

Waukesha is a diverse community located off I-94 15 miles west of Milwaukee and 40 miles east of Madison.  Students with hearing losses from a five county area in southeastern Wisconsin receive educational services from our highly trained staff including teachers of the deaf, speech and language pathologists, audiologists and our regular education  team members.  Our close proximity to our community partners, the Medical College of Wisconsin/Children's Hospital and the Koss Cochelar Implant Center, the University of Wisconin-Madison, and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee provides frequent opportunties for collaboration benefiting children enrolled in our programs with the most recent advances in technology and education.

This webpage will provide you with direct links to our program calendar of events, a review of the development of the auditory-oral program and the statewide demonstration project, and to information that will assist in developing auditory-oral programming for children with hearing losses.

We invite you to explore all areas of our website to learn more about auditory-oral programming, teaching children with hearing losses to listen and to speak.
