The Brace Shop at St. Vincent's is the only facility of its kind in Haiti and probably the only one in the world staffed entirely by deaf workers. This facility was started in 1957 with two deaf boys who had graduated from St. Vincent's and were sent to the U.S. to learn basic skills in brace making and fitting. Today, full-time workers make and repair prosthetics, orthopedic bracing, crutches, and other apparatus needed to correct many deformities. This facility provides services to adults in the community as well.
