our dual missionFrom the moment a family walks in our doors, our goal is to give their child the skills they will need to leave us. 2013 was another year of amaz-ing achievement for our students. We’re so proud of their accomplish-ments and so grateful to the community that supports them. Our gener-ous donors, devoted volunteers, fantastic staff and talented board make possible our mission of teaching children who are deaf and hard of hear-ing to listen, talk, read and succeed.

CID’s impact goes far beyond the walls of our school. Our professional outreach programs help other teachers better serve the children in their communities. Your support has an immeasurable impact for children who are deaf and hard of hearing in St. Louis and around the world.

Thank you. – ROBIN FEDER, CID EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

congratulations, graduates In fall of 2013, the eight CID students who graduated in May joined their peers in their neighborhood kindergartens, elementary schools and middle schools.

CID’s mission is to teach children who are deaf and hard of hearing to listen, talk, read and succeed.

We partner with families andcollaborate with universities, educators and other professionals worldwide to help children communicate to achieve their fullest potential.

CID is one of the nation’s largest and oldest listening and spoken language schools for children who are deaf and hard of hearing. n In 2012–2013, CID served 187 children in its education and audiology programs.n 38 percent of CID’s primary department

students (age 6–12) came to CID for the first time after struggling in public schools.

n Based on a 3-year average (2011–2013), the costs to educate students were: 3–12 years: $52,000; 0–2 years: $11,200. All families pay on a sliding scale based on income, family size and other measures of need.

n Length of stay can depend on many factors, including age of enrollment. Our younger children typically attend CID for 4 to 5 years before graduating.

n CID served 13 children and their families with origins outside the United States, including Bosnia, China, India, Mexico, Russia and the United Arab Emirates. Since 1914, CID families have come from 48 states and 29 countries.

student outcomesCID’s goal is for at least 80 percent of our returning students to make one year’s growth or better in one year’s time in receptive vocabulary, expressive vocabulary and overall language. We evaluate progress regularly – both formally and informally.

2012–2013 Returning pre-k/k students (age 4 – 5)n 100 percent made one year’s growth or better

in receptive vocabulary.n 92 percent made one year’s growth or better

in expressive vocabulary and overall language.

Returning primary students (age 6 –12)n 100 percent made one year’s growth or better

in receptive vocabulary and overall language.n 94 percent made one year’s growth or better

in expressive vocabulary.

professional outreachn In 2012–2013, CID staff presented seven on-site

continuing education workshops. Seventy-three professionals from 12 states attended.

n In Missouri and Illinois, CID consulting sessions and in-services reached 94 teachers and educational staff and 60 school children.

n CID sold 770 educational curricula, assessments and listening support products in 45 states and four countries, for a total of $96,046 – an increase of 32 percent over last year’s total. Newly published products accounted for more than half of sales.

n Staff continued to pilot assessments and curricula in preparation for production in 2014. These included tools to track play, vocabulary and pragmatic lan-guage of preschoolers and a major revision of the classic CID TAGS system for use by teachers to help children with hearing loss develop language skills.

n At the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) conference in Los Angeles, CID parent educators Dorie Noll and Claire Soete received the first place Communication Award for their poster session, “Making It Work Without the Toy Bag: Using Family Resources to Meet Session Objectives.”

n Six of CID’s fully certified, master’s level teachers of the deaf and AuD/PhD pediatric audiologists served on the faculty of the Washington University School of Medicine Program in Audiology and Communication Sciences (PACS).

n CID teachers, speech-language pathologists and audiologists provided practicum experiences for graduate students from Washington University and Fontbonne University. The audiology department hosted an extern from Arizona State University.

In 2012–2013, more than 200 people visited CID.* Among them was former CID education coordinator Michelle Gremp, PhD (above left). As a research associate at the University of Georgia, Gremp visited CID classrooms several times to collect video for a national study of literacy and deafness.

CID began to plan self-study webinars to bring CID classrooms to teachers online. The first webinar followed Porter as he learned to use spoken language in new ways every day.

In May of 2013, 380 guests, many dressed in jungle- chic camouflage, sang along with the students to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” at the CID Ultimate Picnic at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis. Together, we raised over $258,000 to help children learn to listen, talk, read and succeed.

CID on safari

Rachel was adopted from a Russian orphanage at age 2. It was not long before her mom, Mary, learned of her hearing loss. The family reached out to CID.

Rachel was a lively child who babbled constantly and loved to show off her toy grocery cart to the CID parent educator during home visits. Mary was deeply committed to helping her learn to listen and talk, never missing a parent-teacher conference or a school perfor-mance during the ensuing 10 years at CID.

Rachel is now a role model for the younger students. Her teachers describe her as a kind girl and a good friend. She excels at math and has learned to love reading despite some early struggles.

Rachel learned to play the piano and she loves to dance. She is one of several CID students who are also first generation Americans.
