Memphis Oral School for the Deaf (MOSD) is located in Germantown, Tennessee, and works to empower deaf children to listen, learn, and talk. MOSD has been serving families from all over the Mid-South since 1959. We help profoundly deaf and hard-hearing children ages birth to six years old learn language during the most critical developmental stages of their lives. We believe that through early intervention and diagnosis, speech and language therapies, advanced technologies, and audiological services, deaf children can develop the necessary listening and spoken language skills to become a part of, rather than apart from, a world of sound. We serve our Spanish population for MOSD parents while promoting bilingual language development for our Spanish-speaking children. MOSD is one of 35 OPTION Schools worldwide, and its goal is to advance excellence in listening and spoken language education. Our average annual school enrollment is 30 children. Our average student-to-teacher ratio is 4 to 1. We have a highly qualified staff of audiologists, speech pathologists, and educators. We serve as an observation and training site for Audiologists, Speech/Language Pathologists, and educators from universities across the country.
