Illinois Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb
Variant namesThe Illinois Asylum for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb was established (1839) at Jacksonville to admit all educable "deaf and dumb" individuals without charge. After initially being governed by a private board of directors, the state assumed full control (1849), and the school became the Illinois Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb (1849-1903), and then the Illinois School for the Deaf (1903- ). The Board of State Commissioners of Public Charities originally held investigative authority over the institution (1869-1909); but administrative control was transferred to the Board of Administration (1909-1917). Subsequently the school was transferred to the Dept. of Public Welfare (1917-1961); Dept. of Mental Health (1961-1963); and Dept. of Children and Family Services (1963-1997).

The Illinois Asylum for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb was established (1839) at Jacksonville to admit all educable "deaf and dumb" individuals without charge. After initially being governed by a private board of directors, the state assumed full control (1849) and the school name changed to the Illinois Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb. In 1903, the Jacksonville institution had its name changed to the Illinois School for the Deaf. The Board of State Commissioners of Public Charities originally held investigative authority over the institution (1869-1909); but administrative and executive control was transferred to the Board of Administration (1909-1917). Subsequently the school was transferred to the Dept. of Public Welfare (1917-1961); Dept. of Mental Health (1961-1963); and Dept. of Children and Family Services (1963-1997).
An Experimental School for Instruction and Training of Idiots and Feeble-Minded Children was established at Jacksonville (1865-1871) until the permanent location of the Illinois Asylum for the Education of Feeble-Minded children in Lincoln, Ill.
