ASDB is Arizona Services for the Deaf and Blind. Its a state organization that does very good things. You can google it and learn more.

Check out Phoenix Day School for the Deaf. They are geared specifically towards deaf children with multiple disabilities.

Good luck!

Hey PhxBarb I saw you answered someone about funding for special ed in AZ and you had said it was horrible there, no money? Deaf and Hard of Hearing Programs are state funded. Special need are special needs no matter what a childs disability is Autism or Deaf so are you saying AZ is not a place to move to if you have a special needs child?

What I meant was AZ doesn't have as many services like other OLDER states that have been in business for alot more years. And of course, AZ has lower taxes than those states too so there isn't a lot of money to go to the schools. The state does the best it can with the money doled out to care for special needs kids, but, if I had a choice, I wouldn't pick AZ to live in, unless absolutely necessary.
