The Maryland School for the Deaf was estab-
lished in 1868 as a free public residential school for
deaf and hard-of-hearing children who reside in the
State (Chapter 247, Acts of 1867; Chapter 409,
Acts of 1868).

The Maryland Schools for the Deaf offer an
academic education similar to that of public
schools. The Schools also provide thorough in-
struction in communications skills, including
speech and speech reading, signs and finger spell-
ing, auditory training, and use of individual hearing
aids. In addition to the academic program, courses
of study in vocational education also are provided.
The Schools offer a broad athletic and physical
education program, as well as a wide range of social
and recreational activities. Vocational rehabilitation
services are available for all graduating students to
help secure employment, vocational or technical
training, or higher education. Information pertain-
ing to the program is available upon request.

Legislation in 1968 authorized a branch of the
Maryland School for the Deaf to be located near
the population center of the State (Chapter 462,
Acts of 1968). This branch, called Columbia Cam-
pus Maryland School for the Deaf, is administered
and operated as part of and subject to the Maryland
School for the Deaf. The first phase of the Columbia
Campus opened in September 1973 (Code Educa-
tion Article, sec. 8-304).

The Governor appoints the thirty members of
the Schools' Board of Visitors for indefinite terms.
