Join the NDC | help team at 2 p.m. CT on June 24 for Deaf Student Access: Tips & Resources for Reopening Campus, a live presentation covering the most frequently asked questions about access and accommodations in a variety of formats.

Though COVID-19 cases seem to be going down with rising vaccination rates, the fall 2021 semester will still be littered with uncertainty. Schools are planning for a variety of class formats — in-person, online, hybrid. Planning for all the different options also includes designing accessible environments.

Get Answers, Resources and More

The National Deaf Center on Postsecondary Outcomes (NDC) has supported hundreds of institutions while navigating the pandemic’s impact on deaf students, and is here to help you ensure your campus activities are accessible — whether they are online or in-person.

This presentation will offer suggestions and solutions to address common concerns about implementing accommodations. NDC will provide resources to help your institution prepare for deaf students attending and participating in activities or programs.

You will learn how to:

  • Hire, coordinate and work with service providers (i.e. interpreters and speech-to-text professionals) in a variety of remote and in-person settings.

  • Address barriers to communication, like face masks.

  • And maintain sanitary assistive listening equipment in multiple spaces.

Presenters

Stephanie Zito, M.S., NIC, is the lead Technical Assistance Specialist with NDC. She is also a nationally certified sign language interpreter and trained C-Print captionist, and serves as President for the National Association of Interpreters in Education (NAIE).

Lore Kinast, Ed.D., is a Technical Assistance Specialist with NDC. Lore provides higher education professionals, employers, students, parents, and organizations with resources, strategies, and tools to ensure deaf students can access their college education.
