DePaul School for Hearing and Speech is an educational institution based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It serves Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia as the region’s only program focused on listening and spoken language education for children who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have severe speech delays, from birth through age 15, helping them listen, speak, and learn. The school emphasizes guiding each student as they transition into the hearing world and supports ongoing progress toward that goal. Recent developments include the appointment of Dr. Ellen Mady Octave as Executive Director, effective April 27, 2026, following a national search. The organization has expanded its offerings with the SAILL Preschool program launched in 2023 and a teacher-of-the-deaf apprenticeship initiative with Robert Morris University announced in 2024.
