Empowering children with hearing loss to listen, speak, and thrive—since 1967.

Summit Speech School is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children who are deaf or hard of hearing build strong listening, spoken language, and communication skills. For nearly six decades, families and school districts across New Jersey have trusted our teachers, therapists, and audiologists to provide the highest level of support from infancy through school age.

Our programs continue to grow to meet the needs of today’s children. We have expanded our audiology department to three full‑time audiologists, strengthening access to hearing technology support, educational audiology, and Auditory Processing Disorder services. We also welcomed a licensed social worker to lead definitely Connected, our new initiative designed to promote positive identity, belonging, and community for deaf and hard of hearing students who use hearing technology.

Through early intervention, school partnerships, family coaching, and statewide outreach, we work alongside families and professionals to open doors to confident communication, joyful connection, and bright futures for every child we serve.
