Traditionally underserved racial/ethnic groups. Traditionally underserved racial/ethnic groups include African American or Black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, and other groups not of Caucasian or European American heritage. Fifty-seven percent of KDES students were members of traditionally underserved racial/ethnic groups, whereas programs nationwide report that 53% of students who are deaf or hard of hearing belong to these traditionally underserved groups (see Table 34). The proportion of Black and African American students enrolled at KDES was more than double that of other programs nationwide (38% vs. 15%). Table 34.

Languages spoken in the homes of KDES students. English was the most common language spoken in the homes of KDES students. Twelve percent of students came from Spanishspeaking homes and 2% came from homes in which Amharic or French were spoken. Forty-five percent of KDES students live in homes where sign language, including ASL, is used. Additional disabilities. Thirty-two percent of KDES students were identified as having additional physical or cognitive disabilities (see Table 36). Five percent of KDES students had “other conditions,” which included obsessive-compulsive traits, motor problems, behavior issues, memory issues, and anxiety disorder. The most prevalent disabilities among KDES students were developmental delays and Attention Deficit Disorder. Table 36.
