The Moog Center provides a supportive and stimulating learning environment for children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families. From the time we begin working with children and their families, our program focuses on helping the children learn to use spoken language well enough for that to be their means of communicating. Our emphasis on very young children underlines our belief in capi
talizing on the critical learning period for language, namely birth to early elementary years. In addition to programs for children, we provide distance mentoring online to teachers and other professionals working with children who are deaf or hard of hearing. We conduct workshops and share our successful techniques with other professionals throughout the United States, Canada, and South America via our Professional Education and Outreach Programs. Our staff also regularly engages in applied research projects to inform best practices, improve outcomes, educate others, and continuously contribute to the field of listening and spoken language intervention.
