Hello Parents My name is Josh Weatherford. I was the class of '98. I enroll ASD in '88. I remmy the first day of my enrollment at ASD. ASD education can be seen not at it's best education but however the teachers, supervisor and all who works there are really good people with good hearts. I was a 4 year basketball varsity. Activities will keep your child active as I was. Umm once I lived in the dorm, I was social addicted and I love it. I found my deafness at ASD and I realize that's my world. I don't regret being a former ASD student. I'm proud to say that I'm glad I got the remarkable experience. Parents if any questions or anything please feel to email me, I'd be happy to answer your questions. Thanks.
