HEARING IMPAIRED

HEARING IMPAIRED is a public school that is part of the Bergen County Special Services School District school district, located in Paramus, NJ with about 130 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 21 teachers, HEARING IMPAIRED has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The school located at 540 Farview Avenue in Paramus, New Jersey, is the **Bergen County Special Services (BCSS) HEARING IMPAIRED program**. This facility is specifically designed to provide comprehensive educational and clinical support for students who are deaf or hard of hearing. By focusing on specialized communication needs, the program offers an inclusive and supportive environment tailored to help students develop language, academic, and social skills through both oral and sign language-based instruction.

The school is part of the larger Bergen County Special Services district, which is well-regarded for its collaborative approach to special education. Students at this location benefit from a multidisciplinary team that includes highly trained teachers of the deaf, speech-language pathologists, and audiologists. The program emphasizes individualized education plans (IEPs) that ensure each student receives the specific accommodations and technologies—such as assistive listening devices—necessary to succeed in a classroom setting while preparing them for life beyond the school environment.
