Comprehensive Educational Evaluations
 Designed for deaf and hard-of-hearing students in preschool through high school, Clarke's Comprehensive Educational Evaluation (CEE) team at Clarke in Northampton provides diagnostic recommendations primarily for students who will enter or are presently enrolled in mainstream schools. The CEE program attracts families from all over the country who will find an interdisciplinary team of experienced professionals including teachers of the deaf, speech-language pathologists, audiologists and psychologists to help families understand their child's hearing loss. Using Clarke School's whole-child approach, our team of evaluators assist parents in making appropriate decision regarding their child's education. Parents are present during the entire evaluation process which concludes with an exit meeting among parents, school representatives and evaluators. Within a few weeks of the evaluation, Clarke sends a comprehensive written report to the parents and the student's school, including detailed information on each portion of the evaluation, integrated test results and recommendations. Each CEE is made up of the five following components:

What parents have to say about their experiences with Clarke's team of experts:
"We found the staff to be extremely helpful and kind. The reports were excellent. We are very thankful for the testing, the way it was done and the competence of the staff."
"It was very beneficial to have received info on how my daughter has made progress and where her strengths and weaknesses are educationally. It was also very helpful to know if changes need to be made in her IEP."
"The written reports are very thorough and extremely useful tools to better inform our daughter's school staff that work with her. We frequently refer to there reports should an issue or problem arise."
