Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Accessibility
As you consider diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, don’t forget to give your organization a Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing perspective.
We offer training in DEI&A (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility), and we are happy to work with Michigan companies who’d like to add a better understanding of the Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing communities and their cultures (for example, why do we use Deaf and not deaf at D&HHS).
Accessibility for the Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing communities is often overlooked. What we offer will make your organization better equipped to work well with Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing customers and employees.
Presentations can be tailored to fit your needs. We can work with you either on-site or virtually, and all sessions will be led by a Deaf professional.
Presentation topics include but are not limited to:
● Appropriate terminology
● Deaf Culture and American Sign Language
● Right to effective communication under ADA Law
● How to provide accommodations
● Hearing assistive technologies
● And more!
