In partnership with the Ohio Department of Education, the Outreach Center for Deafness and Blindness at OCALI presents a video module, Promoting Access for People Who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Blind, or Visually Impaired.

Information is everywhere you look and everywhere you listen. When vision or hearing is affected, part of that information is missing, and this can create hurdles. This makes getting strategies in place important so that you can support access to information and open up opportunities for meaningful participation for everyone.

This training will get you started with basic strategies to begin building relationships and engaging in basic supports. It will empower you in strengthening your connections with people who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or visually impaired at home, at school, and in the community.
