Outreach Services for the Deaf
In collaboration with additional state agencies serving non-CSDB students who are Deaf/hard-of-hearing, the school strives to create innovative approaches for developing, facilitating, and supporting numerous projects off campus. Projects are always under construction and review with new ones being added as the need arises. Just to name a few ...

systems serving kids who are D/HH via the process developed by the Deaf
Education Reform Initiative.
