Outreach. The resource of state schools for the deaf.
Sixty-five state supported schools for the deaf were surveyed to obtain basic data on the provision of statewide outreach services. Fifty schools (77%) responded, 41 (82%) of which were engaged in statewide outreach. Twelve states are authorized by statute, 13 by interagency or memorandum of agreement with SEAs (State Education Agency) or LEAs (Local Education Agency). Sixteen states have undertaken these efforts independently or under less formal arrangements. Funding varies--some receive state or federal funds, others include such services as part of their regular budgets. The data contained herein should be valuable to schools and states wishing to become "partners" in the education of deaf children.
