“ASD continues this legacy with a mission to meet the unique needs of each student, ‘empowering them to become educated and self-directed, lifelong learners’"
The American School for the Deafs has a legacy known worldwide about how it changed the life of many deaf citizens in the United States. ASD is known for creating the first permanent school in the United States. Before, there were no schools in America to help teach deaf citizens in the U.S. Many people thought that deaf people were considered dumb because they couldn't get a proper education like people without disabilities. American School for the Deaf changed how the deaf lived in 1817's, and they made the playing field equal to the people with disabilities and people without.
