Welcome

Welcome to the HWDSB’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing website!  We are happy that you stopped by.  On this site you will find a variety of information to support students, educators, and families. 

Please visit the supports tab to find information about the services that HWDSB provides to students who are deaf and hard of hearing.  Specific information is also provided to support educators and parents as well as more general information about hearing levels and supporting equipment.  Links to community services are shared.  

We have also included some information on auditory processing disorder on this site.  While this is not a hearing loss, an audiogram is used to identify this disorder and our team supports schools with student equipment needs. 

Please take a look around!  We hope we have provided you with valuable information.
