California Department of Education Designates September 24-28, 2007 as Deaf Awareness Week
The California Department of Education recognizes September 24-28, 2007 as Deaf Awareness Week.
The Santa Barbara School Districts serve 25 students in the deaf and heard-of-hearing program. One classroom teacher in the elementary district serves pre-K through sixth-grade students who are identified as deaf or hard-of-hearing. Two itinerant deaf and hard-of-hearing specialists serve K-12 students. Four sign language interpreters work with students in accessing communication within the school environment and two transcribers assist students with class lectures.
The Santa Barbara School Districts provide regional program services for the Santa Barbara County Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) to deaf and hard-of-hearing students from Carpinteria to Gaviota Pass.
