In addition to its mission of serving the students and families of Texas School for the Deaf, our agency has a second mission of serving all of the Lone Star state through outreach programs.
Though the entire TSD campus, programs, and staff are considered statewide resources, one department, the Educational Resource Center on Deafness, spearheads these efforts.
Information/referral, resources, workshops, summer programs, distance learning, and interpreter training are some of the services we provide for deaf and hard of hearing children, their families, and professional service providers.
Specific questions on issues related to deaf or hard of hearing children are addressed or referrals are made to other information sources or appropriate agencies. Contact us at ercod@tsd.state.tx.us or call 1-800-DEAFTSD (v/tty).
For Spanish speaking families statewide seeking resources for their deaf or hard-of-hearing children, the Educational Resource Center on Deafness at Texas School for the Deaf has a toll-free telephone line. Your call will be answered within 24 hours.
Please advise parents to call María Muñiz, Statewide Hispanic Liaison at 1.877.9ENLAZO or 1.877.936.5296
Note: For those families whose children attend Texas School for the Deaf, the school Hispanic Liaison is Samara Jansen. She can be reached at 1.512.462.5560
