The Moog Center for Deaf Education

A listening and spoken language program serving children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

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.

Behind every milestone is a story worth telling, and ours begins with one remarkable woman. This week's Monday post goes back to where it all began, celebrating the founder whose dedication to children who are deaf and hard of hearing sparked a legacy that continues to this day. Explore fun facts and the key moments that have defined our first 30 years!

Meet Jean Sachar Moog. Jean's passion for helping children who are deaf and hard of hearing find their voice has shaped the field of deaf education for over 45 years. After earning her Master of Science in Speech and Hearing from Washington University in St. Louis, Jean went on to become an internationally renowned leader in listening and spoken language education. She developed 10 evaluation instruments used by educators, audiologists, and speech-language pathologists worldwide, authored dozens of publications, and traveled the globe to share her expertise through workshops and presentations. In 1996, she founded the Moog Center for Deaf Education in St. Louis and has since helped establish nine Certified Moog Programs across the United States and Argentina. Recognized with numerous awards throughout her career, including the Excellence in Education Award from the U.S. Department of Education, Jean's legacy is felt in every child who has walked through our doors.

Feeling inspired? Help us honor Jean’s legacy by joining in the celebration! From our 30th Anniversary to our Golf Tournament and silent auctions, there are so many ways to celebrate and give back. Alumni and families, don’t forget you can purchase a spotlight to share your own Moog Center story! Click the link in our bio for more details.

Join us tonight for our next Evening Informational Series titled Reading Comprehension: It's Importance and Challenges.

Reading comprehension is more than just recognizing words; it’s the key to understanding, learning, and connecting with the world around us.

During this virtual workshop, we will take a deeper look at why children who are deaf or hard of hearing may face challenges in developing reading comprehension skills, as well as what we can do to support them.

This session will:
● highlight current research
● share strategies for working with young readers
● provide strategies for improving comprehension skills of older students

Whether you’re supporting reading at home or in the classroom, this session will provide meaningful strategies to help children move beyond decoding and truly understand what they read.

🗓️ Tuesday, April 7th
🕒 7 p.m. CDT
💻 Zoom Workshop

The Moog Center plans to offer CEUs for ASHA and A.G. Bell.
