Since 1974, the Program for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing has served students enrolled in the Boise School District. The program is staffed by teachers of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing, speech language pathologists, educational interpreters, instructional aide(s), and an educational audiologist. Services are available for students with educationally significant hearing loss Pre-K through 12th grade. DHH supports are determined by the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) team.
Our program goal is to equip each student with the communication, academic, and social skills necessary for a lifetime of success. Collaboration among parents, students, school personnel, and outside agencies remains an essential component of our program. We strive to:
Provide a continuum of services from preschool through high school.
Encourage independence and prepare students to participate with their peers.
Set high expectations to promote educational success based on Common Core and Idaho State Standards.
Assess the strengths and needs of students and address them on an individual basis.
Provide specially designed instruction through which students identify necessary accommodations and learn self-advocacy skills.
Emphasize intensive receptive and expressive language development to support students' academic learning.
Integrate instruction for vocabulary, reading, and writing into all aspects of the curriculum.
Provide individual and/or small group instruction at each grade level as determined by the IEP team.
Consider a wide range of communication options based on needs as determined by the IEP team.
