HCIL workshop for Youth with Hearing Disabilities – Houston<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good morning:<\/p>\n

I am Darla Connor, Independent Living Specialist for Deaf Services for the
\nHouston Center for Independent Living (HCIL). HCIL is a self-help,
\nself-advocacy organization for people with disabilities. HCIL is observing
\nAmerica’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month in October.<\/p>\n

HCIL will be hosting a workshop for Youth with Hearing Disabilities from the
\nage of 14 to 21, who want to transition from high school to college and \/or
\nwork. HCIL is networking with Communication Axess Ability Group (CAAG) in
\norder to facilitate this workshop. CAAG has a DARS funded new project called
\nthe Transitional Outreach Program (TOP). The workshop is scheduled for
\nThursday, October 6, 2011 from 1:00 – 2:30 p.m., here at the HCIL office at
\n6201 Bonhomme Road, Suite 150-S, Houston, Texas 77036.<\/p>\n

TOP is designed to benefit students who might fall through the cracks for
\nwhatever reason in their schools. TOP provides information, services and
\nproducts they need to transition from high school to the workplace or to
\ncollege; most at no cost to the students or their families.<\/p>\n

The TOP is set up to help in the following ways:<\/p>\n

1. Those students who are not Deaf Ed students, who may or may not be
\nSpecial Ed Students. But perhaps are labeled 504 or not labeled at all.
\n2. Students who have failed their school hearing tests or have told the
\nschool nurse or counselor of their struggles.
\n3. Students who have a hearing loss that is addressed with hearing aids,
\ncochlear implants, and they are functioning well in school.
\n4. Students who are approaching graduation from High School.<\/p>\n

Youth themselves, their parents, service providers, teachers, counselors,
\nspeech therapists and audiologists, etc., who work in the school system
\nwould greatly benefit from this workshop to learn how the TOP works and how
\nit can benefit young people with a hearing lost disability.<\/p>\n

Please let others know about this HCIL workshop on October 6th, and please
\ncontact me direct if you will be able to attend workshop. If you have any
\nquestions, please do not hesitate to contact me. My contact information is
\nlisted below. If you will attend, please let me know that as well.<\/p>\n

Thank you in advance and HCIL looks forward to seeing you on October 6th.
\nLight refreshments will be served.<\/p>\n
