The Ohio School for the Deaf, established in 1829, has been integral in educating deaf and hard-of-hearing students. Its creation followed a 1827 legislative act by the Ohio General Assembly, acknowledging the need for specialized educational facilities for the deaf. Located at 500 Morse Road, the school offers comprehensive educational programs from preschool to 12th grade, starting for children as young as six weeks old.
The school’s curriculum is designed to meet the specific needs of its students, incorporating both spoken English and American Sign Language (ASL) to promote bilingualism. This approach aims to enhance students’ communication skills and enrich their educational experience.
