Elementary Program
A continuum of services is available for students with hearing impairment who need centralized programming at the elementary level. Depending upon educational need, the IEP committee may place the child in a self-contained classroom for hearing impaired students or in a full-time mainstreaming situation or any combination of these instructional options. A full range of related services is available to support the student in the placement prescribed. Depending upon educational services needed, every effort is made to include students in the mainstream and to return them to their home school campuses.
If you suspect your child has a hearing loss, please ask your child's doctor to recommend you to an ear specialist.
