The Center on Deafness is approved
by the Illinois State Board of Education and certified by the
Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations
(JCAHO), the Illinois Department of Human Services and is an
Illinois Licensed Medicare Provider. The Center is also approved
by various other states within the US to serve clients from those
states.
Over the many years that the Center on Deafness has been in
operation, hundreds of adults and students have been served and
returned to the community and regular school programs with the
skills to succeed. Numerous adult clients have been moved from
state hospital programs and with support live in the community and
have secured employment. The Center has established itself as a
unique facility for the deaf and hard of hearing population with
the ability to design and implement individualized programs to
meet the specific needs of this very challenged population.
