Deaf Institutions, Since 1950, over 67 percent of our homes are disappearing in America - In this day and age of economic cuts, the closure of educational programs and schools for the Deaf has been viewed as a convenient way to reduce budgets. Over the past 63 years, several schools for the Deaf have been closed and numerous others have experienced cuts as well as the threat of closure.Closing such schools actually result in increased long term costs for states rather than serving as a cost-saving measure and, more importantly, result in severe educational deficits for many Deaf and Hard of Hearing children.
