Deafverse’s Choose Your Future Activity Kit Helps Deaf Youth Build Self-Determination

This image has the new DeafVerse logo in the center and below that there is a box divided into two parts, one part has the text " CHOOSE YOUR FUTURE Activity Kit" and the second part has the text " With pages from the Player Strategy Guide for Deafverse World One: Duel of the Bots"

One of the main ways to build this self-determination and confidence is through defining goals for continuing their education, getting a job, and living their life to the fullest. But to define these goals, students must first look inward to understand their strengths, interests, and needs.

Using the Choose Your Future! Activity Kit, students can work with their families, teachers, or vocational rehabilitation counselors to decide on goals that align with who they truly are. The activity kit teaches deaf youth how to decide, act, and believe.

When and How Should an Employee Disclose Their Disability?

This is a blurred image of a woman working on her laptop. There is a mouse and mobile phone kept next to her on the table.

One of the more challenging aspects for a deaf individual while seeking employment is knowing when, and how, to disclose their disability to an employer. Navigating disclosure of a disability for employment purposes is a personal decision. Deaf people may find the disclosure process to be challenging because they may encounter employers who are unaware of laws or accommodations, or the deaf people may not have the self-advocacy skills to navigate the job search process.
