Back to school isn’t just about supplies and schedules—it’s a chance to help deaf students reset, refocus, and take charge of their future. That’s where Deafverse comes in.
Designed just for deaf high school students, Deafverse is a free online game that lets players engage with everyday challenges, strengthen their self-advocacy, and prepare for success beyond school.
Choose Your Adventure—And Your Future
With Deafverse, students practice making everyday decisions through interactive stories that reflect their lived experiences.
- Duel of the Bots: Self-Advocacy: Practice requesting accommodations, working with interpreters, and advocating in social and academic settings. Build self-determination skills for life after high school.
- Revenge of the Deep: Career Readiness: Explore careers, prepare for job interviews, request workplace accommodations, and understand rights on the job.
- Legends of the Eldertree: College Readiness: Learn college planning, choosing a major, working with VR counselors, selecting accommodations, and navigating financial aid.
All three games are available in ASL and English, developed by a deaf-led team.

Why It Matters
Transition planning works best when it’s woven into the school year—not treated as a one-time task. These kits help educators and transition teams start meaningful conversations early and build future planning into everyday learning.
With these resources, you can:
- Integrate Deafverse into advising, career readiness, or transition-focused classes
- Guide students through real-world decision-making scenarios
- Encourage early connections with vocational rehabilitation (VR) services
- Strengthen students’ self-advocacy and college and career readiness skills over time
