Heuser Hearing Institute's mission statement
Heuser Hearing & Language Academy is a comprehensive educational community that exists to empower those with hearing loss or speech, language and communication disorders to reach their full potential and effectively participate in the community.
Formerly the Louisville Deaf Oral School, Heuser Hearing & Language Academy was established in 1948 through a joint sponsorship between the Woman’s Club of Louisville and the Kiwanis Club of Louisville. It was a humble beginning with three children in the basement room of the Woman’s Club. At that time, Miss Barbara Daugherty, Miss Alice Clark and Mrs. Ruth Browning were the only teachers, who each volunteered to instruct students on Saturday mornings. By the close of the first school year, 11 children had enrolled.
The Louisville Deaf Oral School was the first school of its kind in the state of Kentucky. Today, we pride ourselves on working with each family to choose the optimal communication method for their child to succeed.
