Collaborative & Educational Symposium - November 10, 2018

Exciting vlog update on our November 10, 2018 Collaborative and Educational Symposium in Los Angeles!!!! Please see our events page for more information.

Transcript: My name is Marla Hatrak; I am Co-Chair of CAD, California Association of the Deaf’s Legislative, Policy, and Advocacy Committee. I want to inform you that we will have a symposium on November 10 at Los Angeles. You can look at the flyer for more information and details. The reason for this vlog is to mention purpose of the symposium. The purpose is to focus on provision of services for 0-5. Traditionally, there are doctors, audiologists, and 0-5 teachers on one hand. What is missing on the other hand is the Deaf community, Deaf professionals, and Deaf advocates. The goal at the symposium is to join both hands of hearing/Deaf groups. That means that this is the opportunity to share your experiences, your thoughts, and your feelings at the symposium. There will be presenters speaking for 20 minutes, and then we turn to group discussions. So this means your participation will be important to CAD, and to families with Deaf children ages 0-5. Please consider asking your work or organization to sponsor you to come to the symposium on November 10. So I will see you there, right?
