Programs for the Deaf-Blind Schools and Classes for the Deaf in the United States This section provides information on the programs offered , the students served, and the educational staff employed by U.S. schools and classes for preschool-, elementary -, and secondary-level deaf children. The listing is alphabetical by state. Each state listing provides in sequence: schools (residential & day), classes, and facilities for other handicap(s). Column rules separate residential and day facilities. The programs listed here include those that have responded to the 1986 Annals questionnaire. Nonrespondents are listed by address only (no data provided) and are not included in the Tabular Summary of Schools and Classes. The following key applies to schools and classes both in the United States and Canada. Program Classification: Schools .........

These programs often have students partially mainstreamed within a number of different facilities; thus, staff full-time equivalents are difficult to determine. An open-ended figure in the "Ages" category (e.g., Ages 6- ) indicates no maximum age limit was provided in the program survey. Educational Staff Data: Tot..............
