The Callier Center for Communication Disorders cares for patients with hearing loss and communication disorders. In 1950, Lena Callier, who suffered from profound hearing loss, made a commitment to help others like her. She established a trust with the purpose of alleviating the effects of hearing loss, as well as speech and language disorders. After her death in 1957, the trust from Lena Callier’s estate was used to establish the Callier Hearing and Speech Center, which was incorporated as a non-profit, community-based institution in 1963. Over sixty years later, the Callier Center for Communication Disorders has grown into the foremost speech, language and hearing resource for North Texas, and it is one of the most renowned such centers in the nation.
Throughout the years, the Callier Center has remained committed to its three-part mission of providing outstanding leading-edge clinical services, conducting meaningful and innovative basic and applied research into new treatments and technologies and training the next generation of caring clinical providers.
Change a life with Callier! Every day, the Callier Center offers life-changing care to individuals with hearing loss and communication disorders.
