October Virtual Book Club

We will be diving into the book Deaf Utopia: A Memoir – and a Love Letter to a Way of Life by Nyle DiMarco. As we go through the book, we will recognize the experiences that Nyle and his family had to navigate as a multigenerational Deaf family. Learning about what makes him an advocate and activist for those who have experienced language deprivation will help increase awareness of what deprivation is.

Webinar: Beyond "How are You?" Getting to the Heart of the Matter in Sessions with Families and Students

Presented by: Elizabeth Parker, MEd. and Cass Fogelstrom, MS, LSLS Cert. AVEd

Webinar Description:

We all begin meetings and conversations with simple questions. But are we expecting simple, one-word answers, or do we really want to have a more enlightening discussion? In this presentation, we will talk about various question forms and the resulting responses that actually get to the heart of the matter: better communication and better connections.
