Welcome from the Executive Director

Welcome to the CEASD web site!

Welcome to CEASD, the leading professional organization dedicated to supporting and empowering school leadership in Deaf education. For over 200 years, schools for the deaf have played a vital role in providing quality education and opportunities for deaf, hard of hearing, deafblind, and deaf disabled students in the United States.

Our member schools are at the forefront of innovation, offering a wide range of services and programs to meet the diverse needs of their students. From early intervention services for newborns to advanced studies and STEM classes, our schools strive to educate the “whole child,” fostering academic excellence and social-emotional growth.

As an advocacy organization, CEASD is committed to ensuring equity in the field of Deaf education. We offer high-quality professional development, leadership training, and networking opportunities for our members. We also provide school viability studies and accreditation services to help our schools maintain the highest standards of excellence.

At CEASD, we are proud to be the voice of our member schools, sharing their best practices and resources to support the continued growth and success of Deaf education. Join us as we work together to empower the next generation of leaders in our schools and programs.
