          Louis Laurent Marie Clerc is Born

          • Clerc is born to an important family that practices law.

            While still in Great Britain, he met the Abbe Sicard, head of the Institut Royal des Sourds-Muets in Paris, and two of its deaf faculty members, Laurent Clerc.

          • When Clerc is about a year old, he falls into a fireplace, resulting in a loss of hearing.

          • Clerc Stays Home

            For the following 11 years, Clerc stays home and is given neither an education or a form of communication due to his lack of hearing.

          • At the age of 12, Clerc is sent to a school for the deaf. Clerc excelled academically, but unfortunately a voice teacher of his would strike him in the chin for his mispronunciations.
