SKI-HI Deaf Mentor Training Etc_20200118_0051

January 18, 2020: Eleven potential Deaf Mentors completed a three-day SKI-HI Deaf Mentor Training held on January 16, 17, and 18, 2020 at the Guam System for Assistive Technology (GSAT) conference room. This intensive three-day training was conducted in American Sign Language (ASL) by SKI-HI Deaf Mentor instructors, Paula Pittman and Jodee Crace. The purpose of the training is to provide a foundation for the development of the Deaf Mentor Program on Guam. The SKI-HI Deaf Mentor Program is an evidence-based, family-centered program designed to be implemented in partnership with effective early intervention programs. Deaf Mentors work closely with the family to provide early visual communication and ASL instruction that is prioritized by the family to build the skills necessary to communicate with their DHH child/sibling.
