The primary criterion for admission into our program is that our program can benefit the child. Typically that means that the child has a significant enough hearing loss and language delay to need the kind of special education program we offer and demonstrates a potential for learning to talk.

The first step for admission to our program is to contact Judy Harper, Director of the program. She will talk with parents about their child and will explain what our program has to offer. Typically, we will set up a visit so you can see our program and schedule an appointment for an evaluation of your child to determine if our program is an appropriate one. 

 

Tuition

Tuition for the full-day program for the 2008-2009 school year is $19,800.  This Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has approved our school program, which means that we may contract with local school districts for services.  We will assist parents in approaching their school districts for funding.

 

Financial Aid

Financial aid is available based on need.  Please ask for a Financial Aid Application in the school office.  We also assist families in finding other resources for financial help.  

Parents with children under the age of three are eligible for Early Intervention services through Missouri First Steps, a state program that provides financial support for children from birth to three.
