Tips and Tales

An integral component of the DeafTEC outreach effort is to provide a wide variety of educational and experiential opportunities to teachers, students, parents, and community service providers.

Access strategies and insights to consider when initiating efforts for an event.

We recognize that for those who are responsible for planning, coordinating and/or providing these venues, some degree of understanding of what it means to be a trainer, a venue planner, and an outreach coordinator requires skills sets, knowledge, and understanding of what is required to ensure a successful event, is essential.

Vignettes and stories of challenges that can and have occurred unexpectedly and how trainers have resolved or overcome them are provided as examples as well.
