The first deaf school in the US was a residential school founded by Clerk and Gallaudet.
Source verbatim: A Journey into the Deaf World, Lane, Hoffmeister, Bahan, pg 131 On April 13, 1945, representatives of several Deaf clubs met at the Akron Club of the Deaf and founded the AAAD. Why Akron? During world wars, Deaf men and women were not permitted to serve in the military, they joined the industries' workforce instead. The great rubber companies based in Akron hired large numbers of Deaf workers and, with a critical mass of Deaf people, local Deaf culture flourished. Again, this information is taken directly from A Journey into the Deaf World. SB
The first school for the deaf in England was established in 1792. It was called the London Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb and was founded by Thomas Braidwood. This institution aimed to educate deaf children using a systematic approach to communication and learning.
No, Thomas Gallaudet was not deaf. He was a hearing individual who played a crucial role in the education of the deaf in the United States. Gallaudet co-founded the first school for the deaf in America, the Connecticut Asylum for the Education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons, in 1817, alongside his friend Laurent Clerc, who was deaf. His work significantly advanced the education and rights of deaf individuals.
The first school for the Deaf was founded by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet wanted to find a way to teach deaf children. His neighbor Mason Gogswell had a deaf daughter, Alice, and Gogswell did not want her locked away in a mental institution, as was common practice during those times. Thomas left the U.S. in search of a way to educate deaf people, in 1816, while in England seeking their method of educating the deaf he attended a deaf-mute show which featured it's star pupil: Laurent Clerc, a brilliant deaf student from France. Gallaudet convinced Clerc to come to the U.S. and help set up a school and hence in 1817 the first school for the Deaf opened in Hartford Connecticut.
