Resources You Need, When You Need Them

The pepnet 2 (pn2) Technical Assistance (TA) team responds to questions and requests for information from anywhere in the continental U.S., Hawaii, Alaska, and the U.S. entities in the Atlantic and Pacific. While “technical assistance” might sound like computer tech support, our technical assistance specialists have information and resources covering a much broader range of topics.

Typical requests:

• “We need to provide classroom accommodations for our school’s first student who is deaf. How do I find qualified interpreters and/or captionists? What else do I need to know?”
• “How can we make uncaptioned video clips accessible for an individual who is deaf?”
• “Is there a directory of ‘deaf-friendly’ postsecondary schools?”
• “Can a person who is deaf or hard of hearing qualify for admission to nursing school?”
• “Where can I find an amplified stethoscope?”

We can answer some questions quickly by providing links to online resources. Other more complex queries will take more time, requiring in-depth investigation, and collaboration with pn2 Research and Evidence Synthesis (RES) and Personnel Development (PD) staff.
