The Brazos Valley Regional Day School Program for the Deaf (BVRDSPD) provides a free and appropriate public education to Deaf and hard of hearing students from birth through age 21. A Shared Service Arrangement exists between 31 member independent school districts spread over an eight county service area. Bryan ISD serves as the fiscal agent.
Students are served within their home districts or on one of the BVRDSPD site campuses in Bryan ISD. Home school districts provide transportation for deaf and hard of hearing students attending site campuses in Bryan.
The Brazos Valley Regional Day School offers a variety of services.
BVRSDPD honors all communication modes. Parents have the right to choose their child's communication mode and Texas Education Code states the student's preferred mode. The BVRDSPD also offers ASL as a language and strategy for instruction designed to give our deaf students a strong linguistic foundation from which to learn and master English. Students should feel proud of their own Deaf heritage, their unique language or sign system, their rich culture, and themselves. The BVRDSPD incorporates this culture and language into the general student body on each campus they are located.
