Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech

Congratulations to Clarke alum Jaimie Lyons on graduating from Merrimack College with a Master of Science in Athletic Training! 🎓

We're so proud to celebrate this incredible milestone with you. Your Clarke family is cheering you on as you begin this exciting next chapter. 💜

When Teresa’s son Logan was diagnosed with profound hearing loss at just one month old, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, she describes feeling incredibly isolated. Then they found Clarke, and with it, a community of professionals and families that understood.

Today, Logan is thriving, fully verbal, endlessly curious, and proudly talking about his cochlear implants. Now, Teresa gives back as Chairperson of Cocktails with Clarke New York, helping support other families navigating hearing loss.

Join us for Cocktails with Clarke New York (21+) on June 18 at The Brearley School in New York City for an unforgettable evening where you can support children who are deaf or hard of hearing and learning to listen and talk at Clarke.

When Greyson Conway failed his newborn hearing screening, Ally and Michael didn’t know what the future would hold, but they knew they would do everything possible to help him thrive.

Today, Greyson is finding his voice, advocating for himself, and connecting with the world around him.

“Clarke didn't just support Greyson; it gave our family the tools, confidence, and hope to move forward,” Ally says.

We’re honored to celebrate the Conway Family at Cocktails with Clarke Massachusetts.

Big futures begin with the smallest moments 💜

This Week of the Young Child, we’re celebrating the power of early connection—those first sounds, shared smiles, and moments of discovery that shape a child’s world.

Clarke’s Birth to Age Three Program supports children who are deaf or hard of hearing during these critical early years, partnering with families to build listening and spoken language skills from the very beginning.

Because when we start early, we open the door to a lifetime of communication, confidence, and connection.

Every step tells a story. Meet Jaxson 💜

When Jaxson was diagnosed with moderate-severe hearing loss at birth, his family was filled with questions about communication, connection, and what his future might hold.

There was a time when words didn’t come easily. When his parents could only hope for the day they’d hear about his day in his own voice.

Then came Clarke. That transformation didn’t just change Jaxson’s life; it changed everything for his family.

Now, Jaxson’s Crew is walking to give back, leading as one of the top teams in Clarke's Listening Walk at the Zoo.

When Jaimie Lyons was a baby, her parents learned she had profound hearing loss, and like so many families, they were left wondering what the future might hold.

Today, that answer is clear.

With a foundation built at Clarke, where she learned to listen, talk, and advocate for herself, Jaimie is now just weeks away from earning her master’s degree in athletic training, becoming the first in her immediate family to reach this milestone.

Now, she’s building a career helping athletes thrive.

Join us at Cocktails with Clarke Massachusetts, as we honor Jaimie and celebrate stories that show families what’s possible.
