The mission of CID is to teach children who are deaf and hard

of hearing to listen, talk, read and succeed. We partner with families and collaborate with

universities, educators and other professionals worldwide to help children communicate

to achieve their fullest potential.

Eight years change the world for an Indian orphanEight years ago, Dave and Ellen Singh adopted a 5-year-old from India. Although he had been attending a school, the boy they called Deelip had no words, no signs, no way to communicate beyond using gestures. The Singhs have a picture of him in the orphan-age wearing an antiquated body-worn hearing aid they also saved as a reminder of his origins. The device would have been ineffective for a profoundly deaf child.

In their adoption search, the family was looking for a child they could help in a significant way. Five years prior, Ellen had lost all of the hearing in her left ear due to bacterial meningitis, so she was specifically seeking a child with hearing loss. She

met Deelip and immediately bonded with him. Before the adoption, the Singhs did an unusual amount of research. They wanted to be sure programs were in place that would give their child every-thing he needed to thrive.

Early in the process, they spoke with doctors at St.

Louis Children’s Hospital and toured the CID school. When they brought their son home in November of 2009 and named him William, they already had a timeline for cochlear implant surgery. He received bilateral devices in January of 2010, then enrolled in the CID pre-k. With help from his school district in Edwardsville, Illinois, he rode a bus to CID for up to an hour each way for the next eight years.

“Without the generosity of many and the dedication of the CID staff, William would not be able to transition to a mainstream school,” Ellen Singh said. “The people of CID have brought him out of a world of silence into a

CID family center legend Chris Clark retires The encouraging voice on the phone after sleepless nights wondering how your new baby will go through life being deaf. That’s Chris Clark. The one to call in a panic when your toddler drops his hearing aid in the sink. That’s Chris Clark. An ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on just when you need it most. That’s Chris Clark.

In May, Chris Clark retired after 32+ years of compassion-ate dedication to CID families — as a preschool-kindergarten teacher (1981–1985), nursery class instructor (1990–1996) and director of the Joanne Parrish Knight Family Center (1996–2015). Before joining CID, she had been a preschool

world full of wonder and exploration.”

William, now 13, was named the St. Louis Optimist Club West CID Student of the Year in April, then graduated from CID in May. Princi-pal Lynda Berkowitz, who has seen countless children through the program, summed up his accomplish-ment: “It’s quite remarkable for a child who is profoundly deaf and whose first exposure to language was at age 5 to be reading at grade level go-ing into 6th grade.”

Thanks to an amazing family, dedicated teachers, doctors, speech-language pathologists and audiologists in an out-standing network of resources in the St. Louis area, William can explore his potential.

CHRIS CLARK WITH LUQMAN BATHA

teacher at Utah School for the Deaf. In recent years, she served as the family center's intake coordinator. She has been source of hope and en-couragement for children and their parents who found their way to CID.

“I still clearly remember talk-ing with Chris on our first call after hearing about [our son] Addison’s hearing loss,” Leanna Fenneberg said.

“We were overwhelmed and emotional. Chris was warm, kind, knowledgeable and reassuring. We toured CID and never looked back. We were so confident that we’d have all the support we needed from CID.”

“Not only has Chris touched thousands of lives of parents and their children, she’s leav- ing our field in a much better place,” school principal Lynda Berkowitz said.

Chris completed her final year on the faculty of the Washington University School of Medicine Program in Au-diology and Communication Sciences (PACS). In addition to teaching graduate classes, mentoring students and help-ing guide curricula for future audiologists and teachers of the deaf, she helped train gen-erations of early intervention providers through presenta-tions at local and national professional conferences.

“We’ll miss Chris’ presence as a compassionate force in so many of our lives,” executive director Robin Feder said. “Her impact on families and professionals will last forever.”

I‘m pleased to announce CID leader-ship changes effective for the 2018–2019 school year.

CID teacher Amy Hudson will be coordinator of the CID Virginia J. Browning Primary School. Amy has been a teacher of the deaf for 26 years, working with children ages 3 to 10 at CID and at Special School District of St. Louis County and Presbyterian Ear Institute in New Mexico.

Abby Zoia, previously our primary school coordinator, will be the coor-dinator of the CID Emerson Center for Professional Development. Abby brings 16+ years of experience as a CID teacher and administrator to oversee development of curricula and partnership with professionals.

Ann Holmes, previously the part-time coordinator of the CID Emerson Cen-ter for Professional Development, will be the full-time director of individual giving at CID. Ann had been working part-time at that position for the past five years. She was previously a CID classroom teacher, serving all ages of students from 1995 through 2013.

CID parent educator Claire Soete is our new family center intake coordi-nator. She brings 32+ years of experi-ence as a teacher and parent educator to the sensitive task of welcoming and informing families often reeling from news of their baby’s hearing loss. Claire has also worked at Desert Voices Oral Learning Program in Arizona and Moog Center for Deaf Education in Missouri.

We’re fortunate to have these talented, dedicated staff members who are qualified and willing to assume new leadership positions. — Robin Feder

Congratulations, 2018 CID graduates!

With sadness, we share the loss of the following members of the CID family.

A life member of the CID board of directors, Barbara Burton Morriss of St. Louis, passed away in April of 2018. Mrs. Morriss started on the board in 1983 and was an annual CID sponsor for more than three decades. She gave her time and resources to CID as well as to numerous other St. Louis cultural and charitable organizations.

Mrs. Morriss was a lifelong member of the CID family. She had a special place in her heart for CID. She remembered her grandmother, who was deaf, walk-ing around with a bulky “hearing

CID bookworms prepare for summer During CID’s recent week-long spring literacy fair, students, families, staff and their friends attended our first-time Schol-astic Book Fair.

We sold more than 400 books, many of which found homes with the students. In addition, CID received $1,300 worth of books for the children’s library.

Nike employees energize, motivate

In April, the employees of Nike AIR Manufacturing Innovation sponsored and joined the CID students for some awesome activities on the eve of the Go! St. Louis Read, Right, Run Marathon.

The Nike groups toured the school, then made their way to the gym to take part in an energizing pep rally. The rally featured a rousing, banner- breaking entrance, a student dance performance of Michael

Jackson’s “Thriller” and re-marks by Nike AIR MI general manager Cheryl Renne about the importance of staying active. Later, everyone formed teams and ran a wacky obstacle course race involving hula hoops. The next day in Forest Park, CID students finished the last leg of the marathon.

The students presented a thank you trophy to their Nike friends. The visit has become a much-anticipated event.

In May, 12 students with hearing loss ranging from 4 to 13 years old, plus five children with typical hearing who attended pre-k or kindergarten, gradu-ated from CID. The graduates live in St. Louis and surrounding areas up to an hour away. They are ready to attend their neighborhood schools next fall.

In May, we were happy to renew our connection with 1934 CID alumna Enid Denbo Wizig. Enid brought No Limits, the California theater group she helped start, to St. Louis’ Sun Theater. The group performed “Silent No More: A collection of inspiring life stories by individuals with hearing loss.”

Wizig, who is 95, recently pub-lished her autobiography, I Never Asked, Why Me? Her deafness was identified at age 3 and she attended CID from age 7 to age 11. Before she came to CID, her mother taught her at home. She used a stethoscope and had her repeat each word 100 times to learn it.

After the inspiring Sunday per-formance, Enid and her daugh-ter Lynn stayed for an extra day to visit CID. They were treated to an unexpected tour of the former CID school building at 818 South Euclid Avenue. The building is being renovated to house apartments for Wash- ington University medical students.

In May, CID alumnus Thomas Otto-Bruc found a surprise in his social media feed from legendary St. Louis Cardinals/Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols. Pujols had hit his 3,000th major league hit and posted on Facebook that his commemorative t-shirt had been made by Otto-Bruc’s company, Route 66 Promotions. Pujols wanted to call attention to a business owned and operated by individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing.

Originally from Monaco, Thomas spent 12 years learning to listen and talk as a student in CID’s resi-dential program. He graduated in 1995 at age 15. In 2004, he earned an associate degree in business at

Several years ago, he moved back to St. Louis to start Route 66, specializing in screen printing, embroidery, promotional services and design. His firm also worked on actor Marlee Matlin’s branded apparel launch in June.

With a broken-bat single against the Seattle Mariners, Pujols be-came the league’s 32nd player to reach 3,000 hits. Proceeds from the sale of his shirts benefit his family foundation, which helps the Down syndrome community in St. Louis.

Several CID alumni are semi- pro golfers on hot streaks in recent years. Last summer, 1980 CID school graduate E.J. Brumm won the 2017 Midwest Deaf Golf Association Tournament (MDGA) and set a new MDGA record for 9 under par 62. 1974 CID graduate Bill Roberts IV came in second in the same tour-nament. Another CID alumnus, Bob Bouchillon (1964), took second place in the seniors set.

Also last summer, at the 2017 U.S. Deaf Golf Championships,

Brumm took second place and Roberts came in third. They will both play in the 2018 World Deaf Golf Championships in Ireland in July.

In 2016, Brumm was on the first place Men’s Team for the World Deaf Golf Championship in Denmark. In 1998, he took second place in the World Deaf Golf Championship. Roberts was inducted into the U.S. Deaf Golf Association Hall of Fame in 2009. He serves on the U.S. Deaf Golf Association board.

Warren Keinath brought out the big tackle to land students’ attention to his deep sea fishing presentation.

In March, 1974 CID school alumnus Warren Keinath visited to talk to the primary students about deep sea fishing. He brought in some impressive fishing tackle and shared video of his ocean adventures. Keinath fishes specifi-cally for marlin, although he is open to catching other very large fish. He has caught what are called “granders”— fish weighing more than 1,000 pounds.

Keinath brings big water adventure to school

“I chose CID because when I walked through those doors for the first time, I could breathe. It felt like a weight lifted off of my chest.”

“CID has been a godsend for our son. Before coming to school he had an extremely limited vocabulary and a lot of frustration expressing his feelings. In the past few years, we have witnessed him growing into a smart and funny individual.”

“I wish all the children of the world had the opportunity to attend a school like CID.”

“The teachers are excellent and well-supported by staff and resources to provide an exceptional educational experience for the children.”

“CID educators have a genuine passion to teach and care for my child.”

Netelligent and Cisco enable teleintervention and distance learning at CIDWith pivotal gifts of technology and training, Netelligent and Cisco are partnering with CID to bring continuing education to professionals and early interven-tion services to families.

Netelligent recently donated two high-tech monitors with software designed to simplify teleinterven-tion for young families too far away to drive to CID, or who can’t make it to a session because of weather or illness. Multi-user

licenses enable our parent edu-cators to serve families simulta-neously. With features such as cameras that transmit written information, the technology was developed specifically to facilitate two-way video confer-encing. Among other features, a special camera automatically zooms to the presenter who is talking.

CID professional development staff are already using the new

Netelligent equipment, along with a donated Cisco Spark Board, to share presentations and training sessions with col-leagues in other locales.

Sustained marketing to school districts and departments of education across the U.S. is expected to increase the number of remote workshops provided to large groups of teachers, speech-language pathologists and others.

Starting four years ago with her indepen-dent study for her master’s degree in deaf education, former CID parent educator Kailie Asam (left) researched technology, laws and family needs in order to build a framework for CID’s teleintervention program. The new equipment will help CID serve families in rural areas who may otherwise not receive early intervention services.

2016–2017 was a year of growth for the CID Emerson Center for Professional Development. CID sold educational curricula in 44 U.S. states and seven other countries.

NTID celebrates 50 years and $4 millionFifty years ago, then CID director S. Richard Silverman, PhD, helped found National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) at Rochester Institute of Technology in New York. NTID was the world’s first and is the largest technological college for students who are deaf and hard of hearing. We were excited to learn that NTID recently received a $4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to enhance postdoctoral opportunities for these students.

Since 1968, more than 8,000 students, including many CID school graduates, have earned degrees at NTID.

To commemorate its anniversary, NTID recently published a history book. Its title, A Shining Beacon, was inspired by Dr. Silverman’s words. sound effects

Garvin’s challenges bring gift of speechLeslie Garvin is “making conversations happen” every day. She and her team of eight at a prominent financial firm provide 24/7 telecommunications support to thousands of branch offices across North America. The job is a challenge, but Leslie has a history of meeting challenges.

A life-threatening case of bacterial spinal meningitis at age 3 left her paralyzed, blind and deaf. Her eyesight returned and therapies restored her motor abilities, but she permanently lost hearing in her left ear and had a mild loss in her right ear. She came to CID for hearing tests and intensive speech therapy to learn to speak and read lips.

“As a little girl in 1975, CID gave me the speech therapy I needed and the support my parents needed to ensure that I could live in a hearing world and attend school in mainstream classrooms,” Garvin said. “CID gave me the confidence to let others know about my hearing loss and advocate for my needs.”

Garvin went on to become an accom-plished athlete, musician and student. Now, the little girl who couldn’t talk spends her days on the phone making sure others can communicate.

She wants other children with hearing loss to also have the gift of speech. In 2016, she pledged a planned gift to the “Making Conversations Happen” CID centennial campaign.

“I wanted to give to the people and organizations that have made me what I am today.”
