success in
school, at work, in marriage and relationships will be shared and discussed

the deaf community. Topics will include communication needs, devices,

Disabilities Act (ADA). You will also learn about Deaf culture and
the Deaf
community: its language, values, rules of behavior, and traditions

Through group
discussion and "role play" you will explore potential situations and
appropriate
action to ensure accessible, quality service for the deaf community.
