[edit] History

The origins of Cleveland Hearing & Speech Center date back to 1914 when various Cleveland based lip-reading clubs were started by some of the Center's original founding members. From 1921 - 1930, under the leadership of Mrs. Helen Newell Garfield, the daughter-in-law of the late United States President James A. Garfield, a number of these clubs were consolidated into one unified organization with the primary focus of providing lip-reading services for adults.
