In addition to the training
module, participants will receive an information packet containing a listing
of postsecondary institutions serving students who are deaf or hard of
hearing, information on financial aid for students with disabilities, and
other supplemental resources. Due to the flexible design of the module, it
can be presented in a 60-minute session, full-day seminar, or semester
course. Optional activities and resources have been provided for those
interested in expanding the module objectives and exploring in greater detail
the career options and postsecondary programs for students who are deaf or
hard of hearing.
