About Us
WE ARE:  THE KENT ISD ORAL DEAF PROGRAM
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE GRAND RAPIDS ORAL DEAF PROGRAM)
 
Established in 1899, the Oral Deaf program is committed to helping children who are deaf or hard of hearing develop spoken language and literacy through listening.
 
We are a public school center based program servicing students within Kent County.  Our mission is to enable children with hearing loss to gain skills necessary to perform at the same level as their normal hearing peers using the auditory-verbal practices of teaching.
