Deaf and Hard of Hearing Career Day!

Thanks so much to everyone who helped make our Deaf and Hard of Hearing Career Day such a success! Over 70 people attended! Deaf and hard of hearing students from all over the Tri-State heard from Deaf adults about having a hearing loss while working in the “hearing” world. They also learned about BVR services and how to advocate for themselves after high school. The program was sponsored by The Hearing Speech & Deaf Center (HSDC), The Bureau of Vocation Rehabilitation (BVR) and The Hamilton County Education Service Center (HCESC).

If your school or organization was unable to make it last week, but would like a similar program at your facility, please let me know. The Hearing Speech & Deaf Center has an Advocate and Education Specialist available free of charge to present this and other topics. We won’t be able to have the line up of presenters that we had at P&G, but she can discuss the same concepts with students.

We hope to make this an annual event. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve the program, please let me know.

Some of the students were interested in volunteering for the “Live Lab” at Cincinnati State that Michelle Hanning spoke about. She asked me to pass along her contact information. If you know of anyone who would like to help new interpreters improve their signing skills, please contact Michelle at: (513) 677-5525 (Video Phone) or CSLiveLab at Yahoo.com.

Many of the teens who were nominated for “Outstanding Deaf Teen” were at the program, including last year’s winner. There is still time to get tickets to The 6th Annual Community Services for the Deaf Awards Dinner this Thursday. Contact me for more information
