Transforming Systems to Improve Experiences for Deaf People is a one-hour self-paced module introducing systems theory as a framework for examining structural barriers that impact access to education and training opportunities for deaf people. Participants will explore system components, examine structural barriers, and consider opportunities to start creating real system change that can be sustained over time. This module offers a new perspective that asks participants to shift focus beyond solving day-to-day barriers to addressing more deeply embedded system barriers.

  • Identify the main components of systems transformation and their impacts
  • Describe some examples of practices that can support deaf people
  • Use the NDC Site Assessment to review and analyze programs and services for deaf people within your institution, organization, or agency.
