Deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) programs include assessments and habilitation of hearing loss. The goal is to provide special education instruction and related services to help the educational, communicative and social functioning of students who are DHH. The Teachers of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing are here to support families, school staff, and students all the way through their hearing loss journey.
