Programs

Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind (USDB) leads the way as a national model. Our schools provide the most responsive, caring, and innovative approach possible to meet the educational needs of our students. Innovative technology is used to help students achieve their highest individual potential. We educate students who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, visually impaired and deaf-blind through our three campuses and statewide programs. In everything we do, the focus at the USDB is always to provide personalized education to meet the individual needs of each student and promote their development into educated, capable, and confident adults.

The school for the blind implements academic curriculum in addition to specially designed instruction called the Expanded Core. We call it “9 more than core” and we are sharing these best practices with other schools across the country. As Ogden teacher Robbin Clark says, “I am constantly inspired, I am amazed and I’m invigorated by the creative teachers, by the ability of the students, and the support from the administration.”
