An excerpt for New York: A Guide to the Empire State in the Buffalo points of interest section:
ST. MARY'S SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF (open 9-3 daily), 2253 Main St., occupying several three-story red brick buildings connected by covered passageways on a 23 1/2-acre site, was formerly the LeCouteulx Deaf and Dumb Institute. Besides lip reading and voice building, the curriculum includes public and parochial school courses, a four-year high school course, training in a number of trades, and courses for teachers of the deaf. Receiving State aid since 1875, the school is open to afflicted children of the State, regardless of race or creed.
Today, St. Mary's still operates as an independent day school that provides supplemental education opportunities to children of all ages who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have communication disabilities. In addition, they provide the largest cochlear implant program in Western New York.
