Memphis Oral School for the Deaf

Memphis Oral School for the Deaf Empowering Deaf Children to Listen, Learn, and Talk Every child at MOSD has a varying degree of hearing loss.

Audiological advancements have made it possible for children to access sound early in life. Early identification, amplification, and intervention help children build those foundational listening skills in order to develop spoken language. 95% of deaf children are born to hearing parents and parent-child interactions are critical for a child’s success. MOSD supports the family’s choice for interven

tion and the mode that will help the child in the family environment be most successful. Children have a very short few years in which the brain can develop spoken language and we do our best to help each child reach their individual potential in this particular area. As its name implies, the Memphis Oral School for the Deaf utilizes oral, listening and spoken language, instructional methods for the purpose of developing speech and language skills. The goal for every student at MOSD is to learn to listen and talk. Through early intervention, proper amplification, a specialized listening and spoken language education, a child with hearing loss can develop speech and language skills that will allow them to lead independent lives in a world full of sound. MOSD is a member of OPTION, an international network of organizations with exceptional professionals providing listening and spoken language services to children who are deaf or hard of hearing. The purpose of every OPTION organization is to facilitate and support the cognitive, social and emotional development of babies with hearing loss as families help their child become proficient with spoken language. OPTION professionals such as Teachers of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing, Speech Language Pathologists and Audiologists have the background, training, and expertise in using specific methods and strategies to support children and their families in the development of listening and spoken language.

💙 Take a deep breath.

💙 Ask questions and learn about your child's hearing needs.

💙 Build your support team, including audiologists, therapists, and educators.

💙 Focus on the next step, not the entire journey.

💙 Remember: a hearing loss diagnosis does not define your child's future.

Receiving a hearing loss diagnosis after CMV can bring a lot of emotions and even more questions.

It's okay to feel overwhelmed.

The most important thing to remember is that you don't have to navigate this journey alone.

With early identification, family involvement, appropriate technology, and evidence-based intervention, children with hearing loss can develop strong communication skills and thrive.

At MOSD, we see the power of early support every day. Our team is here to help families find answers, build confidence, and take the next step forward—one step at a time.

💙 This CMV Awareness Month, we're raising awareness and sharing hope for families navigating a hearing loss diagnosis.

June is CMV Awareness Month.
Every child's story begins with communication. This CMV Awareness Month, we're helping shine a light on one of the leading causes of childhood hearing loss—congenital CMV.

While many families may not be familiar with CMV, understanding the connection between hearing health and early intervention can open the door to life-changing support.

At MOSD, we see every day how early listening and spoken language intervention can help children build confidence, connection, and communication skills that last a lifetime.
