School Overview

The **Washtenaw Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) Program**, located at 1819 S. Wagner Rd in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a specialized educational initiative operated through the Washtenaw Intermediate School District (WISD). The program is designed to provide comprehensive, individualized support for students who are deaf or hard of hearing, ranging from early intervention services for infants and toddlers to K-12 academic programming. By fostering an environment tailored to the unique communication needs of DHH students, the program ensures that children have full access to the curriculum and social opportunities within the school community.

Central to the program’s mission is the use of diverse communication modalities—including American Sign Language (ASL) and spoken language—to meet the specific needs of each student. The facility is staffed by specialized educators, itinerant teachers of the deaf, speech-language pathologists, and audiologists who work collaboratively to support language development and academic achievement. By integrating specialized instruction with opportunities for peer interaction, the Washtenaw DHH Program aims to empower students to reach their full potential while promoting inclusivity and self-advocacy skills.
