Job Description:
The Moog Center for Deaf Education is an independent, not-for-profit, listening and spoken language program that provides therapeutic, educational, and audiologic services to children who are deaf or hard of hearing from birth to early elementary years and their families. The goal at the Moog Center is to make it possible for children who are deaf or hard of hearing to learn to listen and talk well enough to participate academically and socially with their peers who have typical hearing.
