| History |
| The Montreal Oral School was founded in 1950 by parents who wanted their deaf children to talk and attend regular schools. In the early 1960's, MOSD began to emphasize the use of audition in the acquisition of speech and language, and became a leader in the field of auditory-oral education. Specially trained staff developed both the first nursery school program for deaf children in Canada and the first program of educational and audiological support for mainstreamed hearing-impaired students. In the 1970's, MOSD became a "private school in the public interest," receiving 80-85% of its funding from the provincial government and school boards, with the remainder from private sources, thus allowing families free access to MOSD programs. |
