DST191 Deaf Community Practicum

Students are assigned to a site in which they have direct interaction with members of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing/Deaf Blind community in order to apply concepts learned in the classroom, as well as to enhance their ASL skills. Students go to their practicum site once per week and must complete 60 hours by the end of the semester. Please NOTE: CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information), CHRI (Criminal Records Central Repository) and/or SORI (Sex Offender Record Information) checks are required prior to participation in this course. Individual sites may require an additional CORI/SORI, drug screening analysis and/or fingerprinting.
