Crossroads is made possible through a collaboration between Education Service Center Region 11, Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services and the Educational Resource Center on Deafness (ERCOD) at Texas School for the Deaf. Both programs, with support from partners, provide statewide services to improve educational outcomes for students who are deaf or hard of hearing in Texas. Services are for three primary audiences: the students, their families, and the professional who serve them.
