This event will be offered in English with ASL interpretation and live transcription.

When hearing or vision loss has been identified for a learner, the next important step is to look at how each learner uses their hearing and/or vision in the environments where they live, learn, and play. Knowing this information helps everyone plan for the best possible access for each learner.
