ABOUT ORAL AURAL KARNABADHIR VIDYALAYA

We enable the deaf to hear and speak, and give them a place in a hearing world.

Late B. N. Saoji Academy is an esteem organization working in the field of Education. Oral Aural Karnabadhir Vidyalaya is working for the Education of Hearing Impaired students since 1995. In this school Oral Aural Method is used for teaching. We impart education to the Hearing Impaired students in Marathi as well as in English medium.

School is for hearing impaired but excellent speech and language is our appreciated achievement.
Imparting education exclusively by Oral Aural method has been accepted in entire Nagpur because of our unique approach.
Our school is different as neither students nor teachers communicate with each other by signs. Therefore cochlear implantees give first preference for our Oral Aural School while seeking admission.

OUR MISSION

To ensure that every deaf child is given a fighting chance to develop his/her residual hearing faculties to their fullest maximum potential. And furthermore, in doing so, she/he is able to converse and communicate fluently in the language of their choice without any inhibitions, fear or apprehension.

OUR ULTIMATE GOAL

The subsequent and final “mainstreaming” or integration of these children into normal schools is our ultimate goal.

OUR PURPOSE

To see deaf children overcome their hearing impairment as early as possible by using oral language and communication to participate equally in our hearing and talking world.

OUR DREAM

No child should be abandoned or ignored for lack of hearing. Instead, deaf children should have adequate opportunity to grow into bright and confident youngsters.

Audiometry is the science of measuring hearing acuity for variations in sound intensity and pitch involving thresholds and differing frequencies. At Oral Aural we do measure unaided and aided responses of the child. Speech discrimination is also measured. Impedance is also done to evaluate middle ear function.

Language & Speech Training

The aim of Oral Aural is for each child to be trained in language and ORAL SPEECH. This allows them to be integrated into schools for ‘normal hearing children’ and set them on the road to be independent in our hearing world.
