This course provides functional and practical information on how to best communicate with individuals who are deaf-blind. The course addresses the various communication modalities used by individuals who are deaf-blind, including; sign language, speech, text, and alternative methods of communication such as print on palm. The possible accommodations and modifications that may be needed for each is listed and described. Much of the content in this course is addressed in HKNC s course entitled: Communicating with Individuals Who are Deaf-Blind. This course is unique because it is presented in ASL with voice interpretation and is geared toward direct providers such as Support Service Providers (SSP). The content in this course was developed by HKNC. However, the presenter, Christopher Tester, a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI), has contributed by modifying the content to ensure optimal accessibility. This course, like all of our courses, is voice interpreted. Spanish and English captions, as well as transcripts, are available. |
