You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.86.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech''' (formerly '''Clarke School for the Deaf''') is a national nonprofit organization that specializes in educating children who are deaf or hard of hearing using listening and spoken language ([[oralism]]) through the assistance of hearing technology such as [[hearing aids]] and [[cochlear implants]]. Clarke's five campuses serve more than 1,000 students annually in [[Canton, Massachusetts]], [[Jacksonville, Florida]], [[New York City]], [[Northampton, Massachusetts]], and [[Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania]].  Clarke is the first and largest organization of its kind in the U.S.  Its Northampton campus was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 2022.<ref>((NRHPweekly))</ref>

== Introduction ==

Clarke School for the Deaf was founded in 1867 in Northampton, Massachusetts, as the first permanent [[oralism|oral]] school for the [[deaf]] in the United States. In the first quarter of 2010, Clarke announced the new name from Clarke School for the Deaf to Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech. While Clarke Northampton made the decision to end their residential & mainstream programs in 2024, Clarke Boston, Clarke Florida, Clarke New York, and Clarke Philadelphia all continue to operate their schools for the deaf.

In the present day, Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech operates from five locations:<ref>((cite web |title=Clarke Locations |url=https://www.clarkeschools.org/locations/ |website=Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech))</ref>
* Clarke Boston in Canton, Massachusetts
* Clarke Florida in Jacksonville, Florida
* Clarke New York in New York City
* Clarke Northampton in Northampton, Massachusetts
* Clarke Philadelphia in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

== Media ==

In 2007, Clarke School was featured in the PBS documentary, "Through Deaf Eyes" produced by Larry Hott. The documentary depicted [[Hearing impairment|deafness]] and [[Deaf culture]] in the United States and the choices parents face between [[sign language]] and [[oral language]].

== Abuse ==
Clarke School admitted and apologized for the extreme abuse carried out against Deaf students back when the school had a residential program. Molestations were reported, Jewish students were forced to attend church, and teachers used methods of corporal punishment that were considered extreme even by the standards of the time on students whose speech did not satisfy their hearing teachers. Clarke School has since apologized for her abuse.<ref>((Cite news |date=24 August 2018 |title=Clarke School must be more transparent about student abuse |work=Daily Hampshire Gazette |url=https://www.gazettenet.com/Editorial-Clarke-Schools-must-address-report-detailing-abuse-of-students-19663287))</ref><ref>((Cite news |last=Christensen |first=Dusty |title=‘In a glass box’: Clarke School for the Deaf alumni detail decades of abuse |pages=11 January 2019 |work=Daily Hampshite Gazette |url=https://www.gazettenet.com/Clarke-School-alumni-detail-abuse-they-suffered-19985099))</ref>
