Welcome to WESP - DHH

WESPDHH Outreach provides a variety of programs and services to students who are deaf, hard of hearing, and deafblind, their families and the educational teams and school districts that serve them, regardless of the student's educational placement or communication modality.

  • Services for School Districts....Our specialized Outreach staff can provide consultation to school districts and Birth to 3 programs to assist in support the educational needs of that student. To determine student needs, our staff will observe students in their educational and/or home setting, conduct formal and informal assessments, and will provide written recommendations as well as support to the IEP or IFSP team. In-services and workshops can also be provided based on individual student needs and/or on topics pertinent to education of children who are deaf, hard of hearing or deafblind.

  • Services for Professionals...Visit our resource / lending library to borrow materials, or take advantage of a variety of workshops and conferences, including Summer Institute (August) and our Professional Pre-Conference (March).

  • Services for Families....Participate in our parent-to-parent matching program (Guide-By-Your-Side), learn visual communication and sign language through our Deaf Mentor Project, or attend our annual Statewide Parent Conference.

  • Services for Students....Students can participate in our pen pals program (Distant Pals) or attend various retreats, such as Teen Getaway Weekend, specifically designed for students who are hard of hearing, deaf or deafblind.
