Reflections on Past, Present, and Future Challenges in Educating and Rehabilitating “At-Risk” Individuals who are Deaf and Deaf-Blind (webcast)
This webcast presentation provides a general overview on how different hearing loss populations, including Deaf, hard of hearing, late-deafened, and the Deaf-Blind, adapt and respond to life challenges in our society. The audience will be introduced to different educational and rehabilitation practices, studies, programs, and/or publications since the early 1960’s. Current challenges in serving this population, primarily those who are considered to be “at-risk” or have multiple daily life issues that affect their ability to sustain independence, seek meaningful careers, or maintain stability in their jobs, will be discussed. Further, the presenter will address how we as parents, educators, rehabilitation service providers, and advocates can ensure that this population continues to be served effectively in spite of fewer resources and opportunities as a result of loss of funds at federal and state levels. Includes presenter materials. (Broadcast date: August 10, 2011)

PEPNet has been a valuable resource to the University of Arizona for years. Using the listserv, we’ve been able to connect with other disability and higher education professionals and stay in up-to-date on emerging issues in deafness and education nationwide. We’ve even been able to locate and hire interpreters for study abroad assignments using the PEPNet network! Most recently, we were in need of information on amplification systems to support our city-wide book festival. The PEPNet team connected us with a colleague with extensive knowledge in assistive listening devices. Using the resources she provided, we found a perfect solution and were even able to serve as a source of information for another service provider who was seeking similar information. PEPNet is like having a team of colleagues in your pocket.
