Because schools for the hearing impaired, and in particular oral based schools for the hearing impaired, have been an appropriate preschool placement for so many with apraxia, the following list is being shared which was available online through the Oberkotter Foundation to around 2014. From this list my son Tanner attended preschool at the Summit Speech School through his IEP in out of district placement. The following is a copy and paste of the page information from Wayback Machine The school list links have been updated if needed for 2018 There is also this list from Gallaudet University but not all the schools are oral based.
When Tanner was attending preschool at Summit Speech School it was featured on Inside Edition
Inside Edition Segment on Apraxia from Cherab Foundation
List of Schools
Below is a list of private schools that teach children with hearing loss to communicate primarily through listening and spoken language (oral based hearing impaired education) This includes some of the private Oral Deaf Education Schools in North America, Australia, and the United Kingdom. When a school has its own website, the link to that site is shown and clicking on the school name will visit its site. You may see additional listings for schools at the organization Option Oral Schools.
