“I’m really impressed by how well they are picking this up. This is a very difficult thing for a beginner to learn. ASL does not follow English grammar, so it’s entirely different,” said Farbman. “We’re asking a lot of these students and we’re asking them to keep an open mind.”

Let’s Make College Work Better For Deaf College Students—Together.

National Deaf Center on Postsecondary Outcomes logo

At the National Deaf Center, we believe access and sense of belonging for deaf college students shouldn’t stop at the classroom door. That’s why we’re asking for your support to make these spaces accessible for all students across campuses.

Each year, we collect feedback from students and disability services staff across the country to better understand what’s working—and what still needs to change.

We’re inviting current deaf college students and recent graduates to share their experiences through two key surveys:

📌 Deaf Student Postsecondary Access and Inclusion Survey

📌 2024 Campus Career Services Survey

Both surveys help us identify gaps, improve our resources, and amplify student voices nationwide.

You can help by sharing the surveys with the deaf students you work with—and encouraging your campus career center to do the same.

You can also explore last year’s findings in our 2022-2023 survey report here.
