What is "the Wash"? Why is "the Wash" important? What is being done? What can I do to help?


No Barriers in Science

“Deaf people can do anything except hear. My deafness will limit my ability only if I let it” says Marlee Matlin of her Dancing with the Stars stint.  That fact has come to life for students at Caroll Johnston Middle School.  Roxanne Vaughan’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing class and Donna Gossum’s Speech class braved high winds to become scientist for the day at the Las Vegas Wash (Wash). 

There are more than 26 million deaf and hearing-impaired people in the United States, and these students proved they have no limitations.  Many remarked that because they cannot hear doesn’t mean they aren’t capable of being scientists, and the Las Vegas Wash Project Team (Project Team) gave them that chance!

Hearing-impaired students of Caroll Johnston Middle School proved that you
