Abstract | These three women conceived, initiated, solicited supporters, developed and launched the first classes for the hearing impaired in a public, Wake County school in 1967. The first classes were offered at Cary Elementary School for children 18 months and older. The teachers also taught the children’s parents about how to help their kids. The project grew over time, and spread throughout middle and high schools throughout Wake County over time. These women tell their inspirational stories. |
