Languages spoken in the homes of MSSD students. English was the most common language spoken in the homes of MSSD students. Seven percent of students came from Spanishspeaking homes. An additional 7% of students came from homes in which Arabic, Chinese, Creole, Tagalog, French, Mongolian, Italian, Lithuanian, and other languages were spoken. Twenty-nine percent of MSSD students live in homes where sign language, including ASL, is used. Additional disabilities. The national proportion of students with physical or cognitive disabilities enrolled in programs serving deaf and hard of hearing students was three times that of MSSD (51% vs. 17%). The largest difference was among deaf students identified as having speech or language impairments—nationally the proportion was 25% compared to no students at MSSD. The most prevalent disabilities among MSSD students were Attention Deficit Disorder and learning disabilities. Table 49.

Support Services MSSD provides an array of educationally related services to students who need them to benefit from the instructional program. Fifty-seven percent of MSSD students received one or more support services compared to 92% of deaf and hard of hearing students nationwide (see Table 51). However, the GRI Annual Survey reports about students from early childhood through high school age in both special programs and public school programs. For example, the Annual Survey includes students in mainstream settings who receive sign language interpreting services. Sign language interpreting would be needed less often in a high school like MSSD, where both written English and ASL are integral to the instructional environment, providing a comprehensively accessible communication environment for deaf students. The proportion of MSSD students receiving counseling services was greater than the proportion of students in other programs. MSSD freshman received more support services, particularly counseling, than did students in the other grades. At MSSD, 67% of students from traditionally underserved racial/ethnic groups received some type of support service compared to 44% of Caucasian students (see Table 53). Higher percentages of students from traditionally underserved racial/ethnic groups received speech training/therapy than did Caucasian students, while Caucasian students received a somewhat higher rate of counseling services. 131
