The Elementary Program for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is part of the Communication Skills Continuum for students who are deaf or hard of hearing, the largest and most comprehensive in New Jersey. Children from preschool to grade six are educated through a listening and spoken language approach. Our Program is housed in the host district of Midland Park and follows the curriculum and calendar of the Midland Park Public School System. This collaborative partnership offers students inclusion opportunities and interaction with same age peers in a general education setting. Our focus is educating and supporting the whole child by providing a team of professionals who specialize in hearing loss including teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing, speech language specialists, educational audiologists, physical therapists and occupational therapists. All of our staff use specialized techniques to develop listening and spoken language outcomes, advocacy skill development and social emotional support.
