National Institute of Deaf Youth of Paris
National Institute of Deaf Youth of Paris, Educational institute for the deaf in 5th arrondissement, France
Located at 254 Rue Saint-Jacques in Paris, the National Institute of Young Deaf operates as a specialized educational center for students with hearing impairments.
Charles-Michel de l'Épée established this institution in 1760 after encountering two deaf sisters, making it the first free school for deaf education worldwide.
The institute developed teaching methods combining French Sign Language with traditional education, influencing deaf education practices across multiple countries.
Students receive instruction in both French and French Sign Language, with specialized programs designed to address individual learning requirements.
Laurent Clerc, a former instructor at the institute, contributed to establishing deaf education in America by founding the first American school for the deaf in 1817.
