DHHS
Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services
Supports all K-12 DOE students who are (DHHS) Deaf or Hard of Hearing in the academic setting by developing and strengthening their cognitive and communication skills. Providers holding a DHH license, teach skills and strategies such as: speechreading, auditory training, compensatory language/listening skills, self-advocacy, and the use of HAT (Hearing Assistive Technology) with the support of an HES (Hearing Education Services) Educational Audiologist. Based on the student's preferred mode of communication, we offer Auditory Oral, ASL and Total Communication options in both related service sessions and specialized classrooms.
