Plano Regional Day School for the Deaf

Regional Day School Program for the Deaf (RDSPD)
Our mission is to serve students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing by providing educational challenges and opportunities which empower them to become productive and independent individuals.

The Plano Regional Day School Program for the Deaf may provide specialized services to eligible students (birth – 21) who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing and reside within one of our member districts.

The district of residence has the option to refer their eligible students to Plano RDSPD for services. Our member districts include: Allen ISD, Blue Ridge ISD, Celina ISD, Community ISD, Coppell ISD, Farmersville ISD, Frisco ISD, Lovejoy ISD, McKinney ISD, Plano ISD, Princeton ISD, Prosper ISD, Richardson ISD, and Wylie ISD.

Since deafness is such a low incidence population, the state set up Regional Day School Programs for the Deaf so that local districts shall have access to services. Any student deafness which severely impairs processing linguistic information through hearing, even with recommended amplification, and which adversely affects educational performance shall be eligible for consideration for the Regional Day School Program for the Deaf, subject to the admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee recommendations.
