Get the Ins and Outs of Accommodations on NDC's New Accommodations 101 Page

Deafverse’s Choose Your Future Activity Kit Helps Deaf Youth Build Self-Determination
May 27, 2021One of the main ways to build this self-determination and confidence is through defining goals for continuing their education, getting a job, and living their life to the fullest. But to define these goals, students must first look inward to understand their strengths, interests, and needs.
Using the Choose Your Future! Activity Kit, students can work with their families, teachers, or vocational rehabilitation counselors to decide on goals that align with who they truly are. The activity kit teaches deaf youth how to decide, act, and believe.
