What two men set up the first deaf school in America?

The first deaf school in America was established by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc in 1817. Gallaudet, inspired by his neighbor's deaf daughter, sought to provide education for the deaf, while Clerc, a deaf educator from France, brought his expertise to the endeavor.

Their collaboration significantly advanced the education and rights of the deaf community.


What city in Connecticut was the first American school for the deaf was founded?

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.
