[Athen] Working with Deaf Students? Contact NDC for Support!

[National Deaf Center]

Greetings,

The National Deaf Center on Postsecondary Outcomes
<http://www.nationaldeafcenter.org> (NDC) recognizes the COVID-19 crisis
has impacted in-person interactions from instruction, commencement,
programs, to other essential campus services. We also know the future is
still uncertain for many campuses. We want you, disability services
professionals and campus personnel to know, *we see you and we appreciate
you.*
NDC continues to field calls and inquiries about best practices,
strategies, and ways to provide effective communication for different types
of virtual settings.  Our priority during this challenging time is to
provide you with the resources and tools to support deaf students to access
online learning and services. NDC has developed several resources in
response to commonly asked questions and challenges encountered by deaf
students, disability service professionals, teachers, administrators, and
community members. Here are some of those resources:
