TSD Conference Offers ASL Training for Student Transporters
The Texas School for the Deaf (TSD) is hosting its annual conference from November 6 to 11 at the Embassy Suites Dallas-Frisco Hotel and Convention Center. Among the highlights is a hands-on training session, 'American Sign Language for Student Transporters', led by ASL instructors from TSD on November 11. Attendees will learn ASL phrases to create a safe and inclusive environment for students on school buses.
The session aims to familiarize student transporters with unique aspects of working with students who are deaf or hard of hearing. It will also shed light on common misconceptions about this community and share challenges related to accessible transportation. The specific ASL teacher leading the seminar is not named in the available information.
The Texas School for the Deaf, founded in 1856, supports students from birth to age 22 by creating a language-rich environment. The Early Bird Discount offers a $100 reduction on main conference registration until October 3.
The 'American Sign Language for Student Transporters' session at the TSD Conference promises to equip attendees with valuable skills and knowledge to better serve their students. The conference runs from November 6 to 11, with the ASL session taking place on the final day.
