For 30 years, the Moog Center for Deaf Education has been transforming lives—one voice at a time.

Since our founding, we’ve empowered children who are deaf or hard of hearing with the gift of spoken language, opening doors to a world of possibilities. Learning to talk is a powerful tool, and for our students, it has meant greater confidence, connection, and opportunity.

Our impact extends far beyond our walls. Through our students—who go on to thrive in schools, communities, and careers—and through our national and international leadership in training, research, and publications, the Moog Center continues to shape the future for countless children and families affected by hearing loss.

Save the date for our 30th Anniversary Gala and help us celebrate 30 years of The Moog Center by supporting children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Stay cozy, not staticky! Static shocks can potentially damage both the internal and external components of a child’s cochlear implant. Check out our post for more information!

The Teacher Assessment of Speech Production (TASP), developed here at the Moog Center for Deaf Education, continues to support professionals across settings in assessing and tracking speech development.

Whether used in classrooms, therapy sessions, or private practice, the TASP helps teachers and SLPs evaluate articulation, monitor progress, and write targeted IEP goals with confidence.

Complete with a manual, rating forms, and digital resources (including phoneme-specific word lists), the TASP is a great tool for guiding children toward clearer, more confident communication.

To learn more, or purchase the TASP, visit: thebookstore.moogcenter.org

Happy World Kindness Day!

The Moog Center is excited to celebrate World Kindness Day as kindness is a core value that is taught in the school. Our Elementary students have been busy spreading kindness all year long! Each time teachers caught them showing kindness, such as complimenting friends, helping a teacher, or sharing with others, they earned sprinkles of kindness. When they reached 125 sprinkles, they celebrated with a cheerful “Bee Kind” party! 🐝✨

Children who are deaf or hard of hearing benefit from the explicit teaching of pragmatics and social communication skills. At The Moog Center, as students are learning how to use Listening and Spoken Language, they are also learning how to communicate socially. Through the direct teaching of pragmatics in a dedicated class and throughout the day, our students work to develop ​skills, such as turn-taking, conversational competency, and understanding the feelings of others.

In working to develop pragmatic language skills, we strive to create a culture of kindness not just today but every day as we teach our students how our words and actions can impact others. We hope that your day is filled with much kindness!

As Audiology Awareness Month comes to an end, we want to give a special shout out to our amazing pediatric audiologists and audiology team.

Their work is essential to the services provided at The Moog Center. Research has shown that early identification and early, appropriate access to sound have a direct impact on the development of spoken language and literacy for children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Our audiologists work tirelessly to ensure all children have appropriate access to sound.

We also want to encourage anyone who has concerns regarding their child’s hearing to schedule a hearing evaluation with a pediatric audiologist who can provide results, hearing devices, and support.

For more information about The Moog Center's audiologic services, visit www.moogcenter.org.
