Deaf Culture Awareness & Communication

Because of the cultural and language barriers that many deaf and hard of hearing people face in today’s society, this workshop addresses many issues regarding how to communicate effectively and professionally with people who have hearing losses.  It will teach participants what other means of communication can be used if sign language is not known or an interpreter is not present.  Instruction and open discussion ensures that all participants will be more comfortable and knowledgeable about barriers deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing non-signers face in any environment.
