Support Services
KDES provides an array of educationally related services to students who need them to
benefit from the instructional program. Ninety percent of KDES students received one or more
support services, compared to 92% for deaf and hard of hearing students nationwide in programs
ranging from special schools to public school settings (see Table 38). Support services provided
most often to KDES students included speech training/therapy, audiological services, counseling,
occupational and physical therapy, and Extended School Year (ESY).
At KDES, Caucasian students received audiological services at a higher rate than students
from traditionally underserved racial/ethnic groups (see Table 40). Students from traditionally
underserved racial/ethnic groups received higher rates of counseling, occupational and physical
therapy, and ESY than did Caucasian students. All students received high rates of speech
therapy/training.
