Biographical / Historical
The SKI*HI (also SKI-HI) Institute was founded in 1972 by Dr. Tom Clark, a professor of deaf education at Utah State University. Its purpose was to create intervention programs in the home that could support families and young children with disabilities, particularly deafness and blindness. These training programs have been distributed throughout all 50 states in the US and a number of international locations, and have been used to foster communication and education for thousands of families.
