Marion County’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program

Marion County’s Deaf & Hard of Hearing Program strives to be an educational leader in the Florida schools for mainstream Deaf and Hard of Hearing students.

We provide a language-rich environment through the means of American Sign Language, speech, auditory training, reading, and writing. We also endeavor to match each individual student’s language and educational needs.

The students are educated in a visually accessible, positive, and nurturing environment that emphasizes literacy and effective communication skills.

We strive to provide Marion County families, with Deaf/Hard of Hearing students, language resources empowering them to learn sign language as well.

Our ultimate goal is to foster students to be able to achieve true language and communication literacy in order to be successful life-long learners and independent, thriving adults.
