The Michigan School for the Deaf (MSD) is a public residential school for children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing established by an Act of the Michigan Legislature in 1848. Students are referred by their local school districts and placement is determined by an IEP team. MSD serves students from birth to 26 and their families throughout the State of Michigan.
Students who attend Michigan School for the Deaf receive a unique combination of services resulting from complex educational planning involving the interaction of many social, emotional and behavioral intervention strategies, intense exposure to two languages (American Sign Language and English) as well as academic and residential support services. The range, intensity, and scope of services available at MSD are provided for any student with a hearing loss in Michigan as determined by the IEPT.
