Who Does USDB Serve?
USDB provides education, support, and resources to ensure deaf or blind children in Utah have access to education. Our students are deaf, hard of hearing, deafblind, blind, or low vision. Students may attend campuses in Ogden, Salt Lake, and Springville. We have a small, portable classroom in St. George and a classroom in Price. The majority of students are served in their districts across the state by Outreach Program teachers and other educational professionals who travel to provide education in the students' neighborhood schools. Each student's Individualized Education Plan team determines whether a campus or the Outreach Program is best for the child. The district, parents/guardians, teachers, student, and deaf education or blind education professionals collaborate to make the determination.
