ABOUT US

Founded in 1982, Northwest School for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children (NWSDHH) uses Signing Exact English (S.E.E.) and oral communication to prepare deaf and hard-of-hearing children (D/HH) to be self-confident, articulate and academically competitive learners, and engaged community members. Our program serves children who are D/HH, preschool through 8th grade and live within a 2-hour radius of our campus, in a day school setting. Students are taught on-site by a Teacher of the Deaf (TOD) in collaboration with a S.E.E. Interpreter/Teaching Assistant, and students may be mainstreamed in their neighborhood school from kindergarten and up as directed by their IEP. All students wear amplification and use state of the art Digital & Soundfield systems. Class sizes are small. NWSDHH is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
