Guest Speaker & KSD Trip

I have now confirmed our Guest Speaker & the date for our KSD Trip.  

We will travel to KSD and have our class with the kids in the elementary dorm on Tuesday, March 27th.  You may wish to carpool with others in the class.  If you need a ride or are willing to take others with you in your car - you can comment here to begin to make those arrangements.  If there are enough students to ride with one another I will not drive from Frankfort to Richmond to Danville.  However, if there is a need for me to provide transportation, I can do that.

Next, I am excited to bring back to my class one of the speakers students have talked about long after she has been to the class.  Anita Dowd is deaf and is the Executive Staff Advisor at the Kentucky Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.  She oversees the Information, Referral and Advocacy Department, and has worked for KCDHH since 1998. She enjoys traveling around the state sharing presentations related to hearing loss for various
organizations and agencies. She is also passionate about advocating for deaf and hard of hearing issues. Anita attended Gallaudet University and graduated from Eastern Kentucky University. She has two awesome daughters that also have hearing loss. She lives in Lawrenceburg with her youngest daughter and her four-legged family: two cats, two rats and a dog, but everyone knows this can change at any moment. She has also owned a snake, a turtle and she’s thinking about adopting a few chickens!  Anita will be joining us on March 29th to speak to the chapter on Forming an Identity! 




Yes, this means I'll be updating the schedule again!!

    1. "Class" will start at KSD at 6 p.m. and conclude at 7:15 just as if we were here on campus. I plan to arrive at 5:45 to get settled in with the KSD students.

  2. Can we go ahead and talk about car pooling? If I don't have a ride I won't be able to go.

    1. Yes, that's an excellent idea to begin discussing carpooling here now.

      I will take any students who do not have transportation. That will not be a problem. But, I do believe there will be students on campus who will offer to take students with them as well.

    2. Faith, you can ride with me. :) That leaves me with two more open seats if anyone needs it.
