Student Life

Find out what our students have to say about USDB!

"I just want to emphasize the beauty of having ASL here & the access to the direct communication. I want to thank the educators. I’m so grateful for this education and that direct communication."

Alexah Sloan

"If I’m in a class in my public school and I need a book, my USDB teacher helps me get it in large print or an audio book. USDB teaches me Braille. I like that I have support."

Aida Estes
Richfield, Utah

"I love being able to be around other students like me. I've experienced being isolated, being the only deaf student who can sign, being at a school for the deaf is so much better."
