Why can’t I use auto-captions? What does “effective communication” mean? How do I pin the interpreter?
Get answers to these frequently asked questions and more with NDC Live: Remote Services, a free, online event featuring members of the National Deaf Center on Postsecondary Outcomes’ (NDC) help team, Stephanie Zito, MS, NIC and Lore Kinast, MA. Their presentation, based off their presentation at the AHEAD 2020 Conference, will focus on remote service providers such as interpreters and speech-to-text professionals.
The event, held via Zoom, will start at 2 p.m. CT on Sept. 15 and will be recorded for those who are unable to attend live. It will also be live-streamed on Facebook.
What does ‘effective communication’ mean in the era of COVID-19?
The sudden shift to online learning in the pandemic has left schools, colleges, universities, and other postsecondary programs scrambling to ensure deaf students have equitable access to their studies.
NDC Live: Remote Services will cover some of the most frequently asked questions, provide targeted resources, and give participants an opportunity to get answers to their own questions from experienced professionals.

Whether you are working with your first deaf person, or have years of experience, creating an equitable learning environment can be a challenge. Deaf people are not all the same, and the “right” accommodations are different for each person and each setting — online, in-person, or hybrid.
NDC Live is a new series of online events designed to give disability services professionals, instructors, administrators, deaf students and their families a way to connect with each other and experts in the field. Each event will feature a member of the NDC | help team or other leading experts in the field who will address pressing issues, answer questions, and provide resources and guidance.
