The Mill Neck Manor School for the Deaf was featured on Good Morning America for their dedication to empowering deaf and hard of hearing students. With the help of Verizon, the school was able to implement new technology to facilitate remote learning and ensure that students could stay connected with their teachers and peers. Verizon is also donating $15,000 to the Mill Neck Foundation to improve the lives of the deaf and hard of hearing community. The school’s mission is to include, empower, celebrate, and embrace the deaf and hard of hearing as equals, and technology is an essential part of achieving that goal. The Mill Neck Manor School for the Deaf is a vital resource and a Utopia for students, providing a safe and welcoming environment where they can thrive.
