Educational Support to Public Schools

Our Educational Consultants work collaboratively with families and agencies to meet the unique learning, communication, and language needs of children and youth who are deaf or hard of hearing and who are being educated in their local school districts and communities.

When developing an appropriate educational
program for a student who is deaf or hard of hearing, it is critical that his or her language and communication needs are carefully considered. For more information about communication considerations, click here.

The New Mexico School for the Deaf Center for Educational Consultation and Training provides a broad range of information to public schools, families, and students with a special focus on language, communication and literacy development.

Supports are available in the form of

• Assistance to the student’s educational team
• IEP attendance
• Student evaluations
• Student observations
• Program or student-specific workshops

Eligibility

Children and youth with a permanent hearing loss, who are enrolled in public school programs, their families and their educational teams, are eligible for educational consultation services.
