Listening and Spoken Language services provide intensive instruction for spoken language development. American Sign Language is provided to give full access to communication and curriculum through the use of sign language.
USD has highly qualified teachers of the deaf that collaborate with local districts, families, and school personnel to provide quality language development and educational support to deaf and hard of hearing students attending the local district or charter schools. Outreach services can include one-on-one instruction, pull-out intervention, push-in intervention, auditory-verbal therapy, speech, and ASL specific training. USD has pioneered deaf and hard of hearing services through teleintervention, distant interpreting, and asynchronous online learning (USD Online). These developments have improved student outcomes and allow USD to provide even more support to the rural areas of Utah.
