This program was
developed
to support
the concept of regional programs and cooperative relationships with the school
districts, educational service units and consortium of school districts in order
to:
· Maximize resources in providing programs and services for children who are deaf or hard of hearing;
· Provide a network of support and services that will serve as the state infrastructure to link programs together and assist in the enhancement of a child’s educational program;
· Contain costs now in order to assure future funding;
· Provide continued support to quality educational programs, which may include center-based options;
· Reinforce the belief that children who are deaf or hard of hearing benefit from education with hearing and deaf or hard of hearing peers;
· Continue state leadership and support for a full continuum of placement options for children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
