Source suggestion
Don't know if this is useful but the article "Word Recognition Versus Sentence Comprehension on a Speechreading Task" by: Jesse E. Dancer, Priscilla N. Davis, and Jennifer O'Neil American Annals of the Deaf Volume 132, Number 1, March 1987 pp. 43-45 includes this author notation: "Ms. O'Neil is an audiologist at the Boston Guild for the Hard-of-Hearing."

Additional sources
Here are two sources that I think could be helpful->except they're either pay-walled or in print... http://books.google.com/books/about/Rehabilitation_Measures_for_the_Hard_of.html?id=Y5q_NwAACAAJ http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1288/00005537-195006000-00006/abstract;jsessionid=D154E21479A618E8D588C30624116944.f02t04 Vonioni (talk) 22:55, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Ideas for development
This org was one of the earliest to provide services for the Deaf community, specifically early childhood interventions. Lots of sources on this are print-only, so I'm digging the up still, but here are some:


 * Rehabilitative Audiology: Children and Adults, edited by Jerome G. Alpiner, Patricia A. McCarthy. Page 60, talks about how BGHH was one of the first agencies to provide training.


 * Challenging Professional Career: Teaching the Deaf..., book by BGHH.


 * Good nomination for DYK: Colin Powell met his wife, Alma Powell, while she was working for BGGH.
