Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH)/Vision
Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) Services
Students served within our Deaf and Hard of Hearing department receive a continuum of services ranging from Specialized Direct Instruction to observing and consulting with parents and school staff within a comprehensive public school setting. A variety of options and support services are available for students with various degrees of hearing loss and communication needs. IEP or 504 Team determined services are provided to students (3 through 21 yrs of age) and school staff by a Teacher of the Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing. Students who are deaf or hard of hearing reach their potential, like their hearing peers, when they are motivated to succeed and are supported by a knowledgeable and caring school team.
