DHH
A student who is deaf or hard of hearing is one who exhibits a hearing loss, whether permanent or fluctuating, that interferes with the acquisition or maintenance of auditory skills necessary for the normal development of speech, language, and academic achievement.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing (D/HH) services are provided for students from age 3 through age 21 in Fulton County Schools who have medically documented hearing loss.
