PEPNet orientation

Orientation to Serving College Students Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing is designed by PEPNet for education professionals who are serving students who are deaf or hard of hearing. Others who may benefit from completion of the training include prospective employers of deaf and hard of hearing students and beginning students preparing for careers in deaf education, audiology, communication disorders, rehabilitation, or sign language interpreting.

The goal of the project is to provide a basic understanding of hearing loss and its implications for communication and learning in a secondary or postsecondary setting. The training is offered at no charge, and individuals who complete the training in one sitting may download and print an official certificate of completion issued by PEPNet.
