Link for participation will be emailed to Registrants

Date:  Saturday, February 5, 2022
Time:  9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Presented in Spoken English.

Workshop description:  

Many deaf and hard-of-hearing students experience diculty taking standardized tests. Central to this difficulty is the reality that English often functions as a non-native language for these individuals. Compounding the language issue, standardized tests are often constructed with the overall style of language being very specialized, including low-frequency vocabulary words, containing grammatical constructions that make items more difficult to decode, asking music- and/or sound-based questions, and imposing artificial time constraints on test takers. 

CEU Hours:  .6 RID CEU's
