Supporting Students with Communication Challenges who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and DeafBlind

These videos include personal stories and a panel discussion by university students who are Deaf, hard of hearing, or DeafBlind. Our goal is to educate college and university Disability Coordinators about barriers individuals with hearing loss face in academic and social/emotional life in college—and to share possible solutions. Current and future college students who have a hearing loss can also benefit from the information provided.
