Spartanburg County Schools Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program

Spartanburg School District Six manages the county's Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program. We currently have six itinerant teachers serving DHH students in their home schools in the seven districts and five satellite teachers serving DHH students in our satellite settings. Our team is also equipped with an educational audiologist and a DHH psychologist. All of our teachers are certified Teachers of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

What is an itinerant Teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, and what do they do?

An itinerant TOD is a TOD who travels from school to school and works with students with hearing loss on an individual or small group basis at most three times weekly. An itinerant TOD provides instruction primarily in the areas of language and vocabulary development and self-advocacy skills.

What does the DHH Satellite Program do?

For students who need more support by a certified TOD, the Spartanburg County DHH Satellite Program is designed to provide support to DHH students with daily TOD intervention. Students in the satellite program have extensive language needs directly related to their hearing losses.
