Western PA school for the deaf

[Guest guest]

This is from CA.

Is anybody here from PA, and if so, does anybody know anybody who has a

child at the WPSD? We are strongly considering a move from CA to PA which

is a life altering decision as I planned to stay here my entire life. I

have heard great things about this school, but if anybody knows anybody I

would love to know their/your experience!

Thanks,

Dear ,

I'm not sure exactly where you are thinking of moving to, but would eastern Ohio

be a possibility? There is an excellent deaf ed program in Trumbull County Ohio

(just east of the PA line). The high school kids recently won 4th place in a

Mid-West Academic contest sponsored by Galludet, competing with residential

schools from all over. There is also a residential school in Columbus that has a

good reputation. We live in the middle of Trumbull County (about 20 miles from

the PA line). From here we are equidistant (70 mile) from Cleveland and

Pittsburgh.

Good luck,

Pat

we're looking at settling in the mechanicsburg/harrisburg area. There is

even an ASL club for hearing kids! Then H. would go to school in Pittsburg

and come home on the weekends. I have separation anxiety just thinking of

it, as I spend a lot of time with her during the week. This school looks

great from the bottom up and the fact that they have kids with CIs who sign

also, is awesome to me.

thanks

My cousin lives in Middletown. She used to live in Mechanicsburg. She is a

teacher in a one of the local vo-tech schools. She has taught many deaf

students over the years. Several of her students have gone on to NTID at RPI. I

will ask her about the local deaf education opportunities. My family is from

Scranton, where the other residential school is located and we know several

people who work there. I have heard that the Scranton school is also excellent.

Would Scranton be closer to burg than Pittsburgh?

Hi Pat,

I don't know which one is closer. Hayley would be a residential student. I

didn't even know what VOTECH was until we visited there a couple weeks ago;

I think they call it something different out here. For some reason a lot of

the kids from Central PA go to WPSD, so if we moved there that is where H.

would go. We already visited the special day classes a couple years ago and

it would be the same as we have here. Any info you have on the residentials

would be great!

Thanks

Hi - we travel through Pennsylvania every year from our home in New

Hampshire to visit our families in West Virginia - I'm excited to think I

actually could get to meet you in person! burg is about halfway for us.

Scranton is only 2 hours from burg - I'm not sure how much further

Pittsburgh is but it is further than that...

I think its further (Pittsburg) but the central PA/burg kids go

there. If she is going to be a residential student, then she might as well

go with the kids who live in the area. Also, my husband said if this move

DOES happen then we will visit my family in Massachusetts sometimes, so then

we WOULD meet. We're going to visit soon. I do not want to move, though,

without guaranteed admission.

Thanks
