Helping Children Find Their Voice
Heuser Hearing & Language Academy has been serving children and families across Kentucky and southern Indiana since the 1940s. We strive to impact the lives of children with communication disorders by educating and empowering them for a successful future.
History
Formerly the Louisville Deaf Oral School, Heuser Hearing & Language Academy (HHLA) was established in 1948 through a joint sponsorship between the Woman’s Club of Louisville and the Kiwanis Club of Louisville. It was a humble beginning with three children in the basement room of the Woman’s Club. At that time, Miss Barbara Daugherty, Miss Alice Clark and Mrs. Ruth Browning were the only teachers who each volunteered to instruct learners on Saturday mornings. By the close of the first school year, 11 children had enrolled. The Louisville Deaf Oral School was the first school of its kind in the state of Kentucky. Today, HHLA remains one of the few schools that strongly supports a communication-focused approach to learning
