Regional Day School Programs for the Deaf (RDSPD)
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) created Regional Day School Programs for the Deaf (RDSPDs) to provide quality services to students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) in Texas. RDSPDs help meet the unique communication needs of DHH students and give them access to other DHH students and role models. RDSPDs help build capacity, provide high-quality instruction, and support the development of each child’s cognitive, social-emotional, and language skills. Enrollment in RDSPDs is based on a student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
The Southeast Texas RDSPD operates as a shared services arrangement (SSA) among 26 partner school districts and two charter schools, with Beaumont ISD serving as the fiscal agent.
