Filling in gaps in hearing and vision
Audiology & Vision
Special Education Foundation considers funding requests for specialized auditory and visual equipment for students with disabilities on an ongoing basis. These include:
- eye glasses
- hearing aids
- hearing molds
- alarm clocks for the hearing impaired
The aim of the Foundation is to enhance the education or the independence of students or to improve their quality of life through grants and private donations. Financial need is a key factor in the decision process. Applications may be submitted at any time, initiated by an SSD professional. Contact your SSD teacher for additional information and assistance.
The Special Education Foundation is able to provide specialized audiology devices and eye glasses to students aged 3-21 years of age who have a disability and are served by the Special School District (SSD).
SSD teachers begin the application process for a student to be considered for financial assistance. Financial need is a key factor in the decision process.

Your donation to the Critical Needs Coat Drive ensures that every student — regardless of their disability, sensory needs, or mobility challenges — has a coat designed specifically for them. Every child deserves to feel warm, supported, and ready to take on the day — no matter what challenges they face.
Earlier this month, The Tilles Foundation renewed its support of SEF’s Adaptive Equipment program for next year with a generous grant that will assist dozens of students.
A new school year is upon us, and the Special Education Foundation (SEF) team has been busy visiting schools and back-to-school events, meeting with educators and families across St. Louis County.
