Region 3 provides training and technical assistance to our districts on how to meet the unique needs of students who are deaf or hard of hearing. Through collaboration with the ESC statewide leadership project, ESC 3 helps local programs meet the unique needs of students who are deaf or hard of hearing across the continuum of placement options.

Regional Program for the Deaf – Victoria

This program serves hearing impaired children between the ages of birth through 21 years of age, who meet the criteria for services. The Regional Program for the Deaf works in cooperation with the school districts in the Region 3 area as determined by our Shared Services Agreement.

Classrooms are established in four school districts (Bay City, Victoria, Yoakum, and Wharton) with certified teachers of the deaf, interpreters, and/or aides located in each school district.
