Memphis Oral School for the Deaf is a nonprofit organization based in Germantown, Tennessee, dedicated to helping deaf and hard-of-hearing children develop listening and spoken language. The program serves children from birth through six years old, prioritizing early diagnosis and interventions that include speech and language therapies and audiological services to support language development. It also provides resources for Spanish-speaking families and supports bilingual language growth for Spanish-speaking children.
