DSD Save the Date poster with QR code to register

5K for Language Access

Hosted by Delaware School for the Deaf (DSD)

When: Saturday, October 12, 2024 at 9:00am

Where: DSD, 630 E. Chestnut Hill Rd., Newark, DE 19713

It is a common misconception that families of children with varying hearing levels must choose a single language with which to communicate and learn. DSD provides a safe and supportive learning environment for our state’s students who are deaf, hard of hearing, and deaf blind in order to set the foundation for linguistic competence in both American Sign Language and English.

Walk or run & register today!

Part Time Job Opportunity in Sussex/Kent County

Email Message from Pamela A. D’Occhio:
 
Good afternoon 

 
We are excited to share that we have secured a contract with DDDS (Delaware Division of Developmental Disabilities Services) to provide support through the Enhanced Communication Initiative. The goal of the initiative is to reduce language deprivation and increase quality of care and life experiences in group homes where individuals who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing/Deafblind reside. 
 
We are looking to recruit an individual in the Sussex County area who is interested in supporting this initiative. Candidates who are interested would be required to conduct site visits to either homes or day program locations. This is a contracted position (1099). The introductory hours have some flexibility and range between two and four hours with the possibility of increasing.  This contracted position includes mileage reimbursement.
 
Please direct anyone interested in this very part time position to contact us via email. We thank you for your interest and support. 
 
Very Truly Yours,
Pamela A. D’Occhio
Director 
Enhanced Communication Initiative
