Diagnostic Center


The Diagnostic Center serves all deaf, blind,a nd deaf-blind students in Hawaii's public schools.  We have on staff an audiologist, two specialists in blindness, an educational evaluator, a speech/language evaluator, and a social worker.

Mostly used for assessments, the Diagnostic Team provides valuable information to students, parents, teachers, and administrators regarding students' levels of hearing, vision, intellectual development, language development, speech, academic achievement, and social and family environments.

The Team members also act as resources for schools in planning and carrying out appropriate accommodations and special techniques to help educate deaf, blind, and deaf-blind students to their highest potential.
