"I just want to emphasize the beauty of having ASL here & the access to the direct communication. I want to thank the educators. I’m so grateful for this education and that direct communication."

"If I’m in a class in my public school and I need a book, my USDB teacher helps me get it in large print or an audio book. USDB teaches me Braille. I like that I have support."

"I love being able to be around other students like me. I've experienced being isolated, being the only deaf student who can sign, being at a school for the deaf is so much better."
