Information. Connection. Empowerment.
Information is Everywhere You Look
and Everywhere You Listen.
When vision or hearing is affected, part of that information
is missing. Promoting access to information connects us, it
empowers us, and it promotes independence.
Promoting Access for People Who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing,
Blind, or Visually Impaired is a free, self-paced, online training
module. This module is designed to build confidence and
comfort for anyone communicating or connecting with people
who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or visually impaired and
includes a collection of introductory information, evidence-based
strategies, and scenarios at home, school, and in the community.
2.5 Hours of Continuing Education Credit (ACVREP approved)
