Have you ever thought that someday you might like to work with people who are Deaf, DeafBlind or
Hard of Hearing?
Perhaps you are a physician, a medical student, a nurse, social worker or you are in the field of
counseling.
People who are Deaf or Blind are vastly underserved by the health and mental health care system.
If you are a child of Deaf adults, have a sensory disability yourself or you wish to have a rewarding career working with an underserved population your life experiences are valuable!
Consider taking classes in American Sign Language.
Many colleges and Universities offer classes in American Sign Language, Audiology and Vision Studies. Multi-disciplinary fellowships might also be available in your state.
