The Office of Student Support Services, Exceptional Support Branch (OSSS - ESB) provides targeted and sustained professional learning opportunities and consultative supports to ensure students who have been identified as deaf, hard of hearing, and deaf-blind have access to the general curriculum through language enriched instruction and learning environments.  

OSSS - ESB also supports complex areas and schools to implement deaf education programs ensuring appropriate language access through the provision of specially designed instruction and/or related devices and services​​.

The aim of this DHHDB website is to consolidate and organize training materials, guidance documents, tools, and other resources so students, families, teachers, and support staff can find them more easily.
