From the Director Hafa Adai! In your hands is the University of Guam Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service 2009 Annual Report which provides a brief snapshot of what the Guam CEDDERS team accomplished between July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009. These activities all have the same fundamental purpose: “opening doors” for individuals with disabilities and their families. Organized under three Initiative Areas, Consumer Leadership and Systems Change; Health, Wellness, and Prevention; and Inclusive Communities; activities that took place during this time period cover a broad range of training, technical assistance, research, policy development, and dissemination projects. Highlights from this past year include: • Graduation of 18 Project Fo’na students with Masters Degrees in Speech Language Pathology. This was made possible through a partnership between Guam CEDDERS and San Jose State University. • Establishment of policies and procedures, acquisition of equipment, tools, and software, and facilitation of training for personnel through a consortium of all six U.S. affiliated jurisdictions in the Pacific, to provide timely educational materials in accessible formats (Braille, large print, audio, and digital) for students with print disabilities. • Facilitation of numerous training sessions for service providers as well as individuals with disabilities and their families. • Evaluation of the I Famagu’on-ta (Our Children) Project, Guam’s Children’s Mental Health Initiative, a seven-year project which promotes a system of care and wraparound approach to providing services and supports to children and youth with serious emotional disturbances and their families. We would also like to share our excitement that the University of Guam has prioritized a new facility for Guam CEDDERS as one of the “top tier” construction projects on the horizon. The UOG Foundation has targeted fundraising efforts to assist in reaching this goal. When the doors open, the new building will sit on the University cliffline overlooking the magnificent Pago Bay. The concept for this new building is in its “seedling” stage but we intend to continue to nurture this seedling into a fully mature “tree” that will provide much-needed support to our efforts as we strive to fulfill our mission “to create pathways that enhance, improve, and support the quality of life of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.” Heidi San Nicolas, Ph.D. Page 4 Mission Statement In partnership with individuals with disabilities and their families, agencies, organizations, and service providers, Guam CEDDERS creates pathways that enhance, improve, and support the quality of life of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

Page 5 Spotlight: Guam Tri-Agency Tri-Agency Conference In collaboration with our Tri-Agency partners, the Guam Developmental Disabilities Council and Guam Legal Services Disability Law Center (Protection & Advocacy), and other community agencies, Guam CEDDERS sponsored a two-day conference on March 20-21 titled, “Transitions: Roles, Rules, & Realities.” The purpose of this event was to help students as they make the transition from high school to post secondary environments. Transition has been a challenge for students, families, and the Guam Public School System. Attended by 168 participants, primarily parents of children with disabilities in middle and high school, the information shared during this event, which featured a role playing scenario of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meeting, aimed to help students, parents, and guardians acquire critical information and advocacy skills to ensure that appropriate educational services and supports are provided especially during the transition process. The Tri-Agency Conference on Transitions was the highlight of ADD program collaboration this past year. Follow-up parent training sessions were organized in 11 different focus areas. To date, two sessions on IEP’s, and a combined session on advocacy and parent rights have been held. Smaller follow-up group sessions allow for targeted support and training in specific areas identified by parents and youth.

Page 7 Consumer Leadership & Systems Change Projects and activities under this Initiative Area focus on the facilitation of ongoing systems change and program development efforts within the community that reflect and respond to emerging and persistent needs affecting the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families. The areas of emphasis included in this Initiative Area are: Transportation, Employment, Quality Assurance, and Quality of Life. Core Grant As its title suggests, the Core Grant from the Administration on Developmental Disabilities supports the central administration and operation, "the Core" of Guam CEDDERS, and maintains the infrastructure for managing grants, contracts, the work with the Guam CEDDERS Advisory Council, and various projects that fall under the Consumer Leadership and Systems Change Initiative Area. It provides support to leverage funding for a range of needs addressed by Guam CEDDERS that require direct incubation support. Two such examples addressed this year are the development of emergency preparedness plans and training of direct service personnel for individuals with disabilities. The Core also supports product development, overall reporting, and the dissemination process. Transportation Policy Development Identified as one of the top three issues and challenges for people with disabilities who live on the island, Guam CEDDERS continued to provide critical technical assistance, training, legislative testimony, and research for policy development in the area of transportation with support from our Core funding. Guam CEDDERS facilitated the efforts of the Mobility Planning Team to address the 2009 Transportation A Guam CEDDERS facilitated training on "Wheelchair Safety and Securement" and "Sensitivity Training, Passenger Assistance, and Passenger Relations" for transit operators. Evelyn Duenas (foreground), self advocate, assisted in the training. Priorities identified in collaboration with the Department of Administration, Division of Public Transportation, and the Transportation Commission. A major initiative during this period was a concerted effort to re-establish a mass transit authority. In addition, Guam CEDDERS established strong links with the Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA) which is providing key technical assistance and training in this area. Transit Training Through a contract with Kloppenburg Enterprises, 42 transit operators were certified as proficient in "Wheelchair Safety and Securement," and "Sensitivity Training, Passenger Assistance, and Passenger Relations." The impact of this training may be seen through the anecdotal reports that have been received from transit users with disabilities which detail how driver attitudes and customers service have improved since the training. Plans are underway to conduct a follow-up passenger survey about transit operations and driver passenger assistance training. Transit training was also provided to students from the John F. Kennedy High School Basic Life Skills class. Guam CEDDERS provided schedules, maps, and travel training curriculum to enhance the experience. Plans are underway to expand the offering to students in the other high schools. Page 8 Project DREAMS (Dedicated To Reaching Excellence and Maintaining Success) After assisting Guam Positive Parents Together (GPPT) apply for funding to establish the Guam Parent Information Resource Center (PIRC), Guam CEDDERS continued to provide technical assistance and training to the non-profit parent organization in the development and implementation of activities to increase parent involvement in their children’s education that leads to their children’s success in school. To assist in meeting this goal, Guam CEDDERS completed the following: • A needs assessment of parental involvement policies, programs, and activities in Guam. • A strategic planning summit involving over 200 stakeholders to facilitate the development of an island-wide strategic plan to support family involvement in schools. • Training for parent mentors on the Creative Curriculum, Guam Early Learning Guidelines, and ALONG (All Learning Opportunities Nurture Growth) Program to enhance parents’ capacity to support their child’s development. • Technical assistance in the development of parental involvement policies and procedures. • Developed products to increase public awareness, and provide information and training materials for assisting parents in developing appropriate parenting skills. • Training to promote family involvement and increase student achievement. • An evaluation plan as part of the Guam Annual Performance Report. GIFTS (Guam Identifies Families Terrific Strengths) Evaluation Guam CEDDERS provided evaluation services to GIFTS, a non-profit organization which aims to provide “strength-based support, advocacy, education, information, and referrals for parents and families, educators, professionals, and our island’s community on children/youth with severe emotional disturbances.” An assessment was made relating to the achievement of project goals, objectives and activities, barriers encountered, and measures taken to overcome barriers. The information assisted GIFTS in its development of an annual evaluation report which incorporates performance data on relevant National Outcome Measures as developed and provided by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Self-Advocacy Training Eleven individuals with disabilities attended the first session of Self-Advocacy training conducted by Guam CEDDERS in May. Offered in two 4-hour Saturday sessions, mentoring was provided in between to complete various projects using skills taught during the training, participants, either individually or in a small group, approached restaurants, movie theaters, the public library, retail stores, public transit, and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation to express their views relating to accessibility and individual supports and needs. Employing assertive and non-threatening approaches, combined with presenting reasonable solutions, the selfadvocates have been successful in achieving positive and meaningful outcomes. Photo with caption: (L-R): Clinton Mesa, Marlon Molinas, and Lynn Tydingco were part of the first cohort who completed the “Self-Advocacy Training.” Page 9 Self-Advocates Open Doors “CEDDERS has quality and great concerns for persons with disabilities.

Page 11 Health, Wellness, & Prevention Efforts in this area include facilitation of technical assistance, training, and evaluation activities which specifically address early childhood, child care, and health care issues affecting persons with disabilities throughout their lifespan. The areas of emphasis included in this Initiative Area are: Early Intervention, Child Care, and Health. Project Fo’na (To Move Forward) After four years of hard work, doors were opened to careers in speech pathology for 18 students who graduated with Masters Degrees in Speech and Language Pathology through Project Fo’na. Facilitated by a partnership between Guam CEDDERS and San Jose State University, with funding support from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, students from the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia were able to attain this credential by taking courses offered in Guam and online. Practicums were completed on Guam and Saipan and culminated with a ten-week full-time internship in sites around San Jose, California. Project Fo’na Graduates: Melanie Arciaga, Amalia Badua, Stephanie Bamba, Leann Bull, Henoleen Camacho, Joysleen Daniel, Merleen Daniel, Rowena Dimla, Daniel Domaoal, Nicole Duenas, Rosario Hocog, Francis Glenn Lujan, Robin Malicsi, Janice Sablan, Erica Santos, Julianne Serrano, Richard Tumanda, Paul Zerzan Photo with caption: Project Fo’na completers who earned Master’s Degrees in Speech and Language Pathology, gather with officials from the University of Guam and San Jose State University. Colored text: “If all 18 graduates had an average caseload of 45 students per year and worked in the field for 25 years, they will have provided services to over 20,000 students. What an impact!” Gloria Weddington, Ph.D., Professor Emerita, San Jose State University, Project Fo’na Co-Director Page 12 Project Mandikiki (The Little Ones) Child Care Project Guam CEDDERS worked very closely with the Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS), Division of Public Welfare, Child Welfare and Development Fund Program, to provide training and technical assistance activities for child caregivers. Working to open doors to improvements in the quality of childcare on Guam, training topics focused on: * The Guam Early Learning Guidelines for Children Birth to 36 months and 3 - 5 years; * The ALONG Curriculum - for parents participating in the JOBS program; and * Developmentally appropriate practices for young children, including children with or at risk for developmental delays in home-or center-based settings. Efforts and resources were also devoted to facilitating the Model Child Care Program, which promotes the inclusion of children with disabilities in child care settings. This program, which requires child care centers to undergo a rigorous application and review process, provided training and on-site technical assistance, in addition to grants for program improvements. Posters highlighting social emotional development were also produced to promote the importance of encouraging bonding, curiosity, exploration, selfesteem, and quality child care. The 2009 Nene Directory of Service Providers for Children Birth to Five and Nene News, a quarterly newsletter for parents and caregivers of young children, were produced and disseminated through the support from this project. Also under this project, Guam CEDDERS facilitated a series of meetings with DPHSS and various stakeholders to develop updates to the “Rules and Regulations for Licensed Child Care Facilities.” Key components of the proposed regulations, such as child to staff ratios and playground requirements, have generated much discussion and debate. Although still in the development process, the proposal is getting closer to being finalized and adopted for implementation during FY 2010.

Page 13 Project Tinituhon (“The Beginning”) Funded through the Maternal Child Health State Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems Grant, Project Tinituhon provided support to establish the Governor’s Early Learning Council this year. A major activity of this project was the Governor’s Early Childhood Summit, involving stakeholders representing various constituencies, which formulated a comprehensive plan to address needs in the areas of early childhood education, access to health services, social emotional development and mental health, and family support and parent education. Other activities included hosting a Family Fair and development and dissemination of public awareness materials. Photo with caption: This poster was developed to highlight initiatives under Project Tinituhon. Palau Technical Assistance & Training Project Through a contract with the Republic of Palau Ministry of Education, Special Education Program, Guam CEDDERS provided technical assistance and training activities on the following topics: * Creative Curriculum Developmental Continuum Assessment Took Kit to address the learning needs of preschoolers ages 3 - 5 years of age. Strategies to support families to implement learning activities were a key component of the training. * Child Outcome Data for Early Childhood staff on the development and reporting of preschool outcomes data as part of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Annual Performance Report. Photo with caption: Model Child Care Center Scores 100% For the first time in its history, the Licensing Section of the Department of Public Health and Social Services awarded a 100% rating to a child care center. The “Good Day” Child Care & Learning Center earned this unprecedented rating in March. Special recognition was given to the Center, a participant in the Model Child Care Program facilitated by Guam CEDDERS, for “opening doors” by meeting the requirements for accessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Jeanette Riley, right, co-owner, proudly displays her Center’s rating sheet. Page 14 Full page photo of newborn baby having her hearing screened. Page 15 Guam Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (Guam EDHI) Projects Now in its seventh year, the Guam EHDI projects have made significant resources available to provide and maintain a system of standards of care in the area of universal newborn hearing and related supports on Guam. Two projects under this initiative include: • Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) Guam EHDI, which continued efforts to improve hearing screening rates for all infants born on Guam. Infants were screened at Guam Memorial Hospital Authority and Sagua’ Managu, the two birthing centers for the island’s civilian population. To support this effort, Guam CEDDERS provided the lead in coordination of screening services, provided on-going training for health professionals to conduct the screenings, conducted follow-up screening, full diagnostic audiological evaluations, and made referrals for early intervention services as needed. This project also provided support to the Guam EHDI Family Support Group. • Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Guam EHDI, which maintained the tracking and surveillance system to ensure that infants and children who are at risk or are deaf /hard of hearing are provided with follow-up services. For more information about the Guam EHDI Projects, visit online at www.guamehdi.org. Text in colored box: Over the past four years, Guam EHDI has identified 23 infants with hearing loss.

Page 16 I Famagu’on-ta (Our Children) Evaluation Project This was the final year of federal funding for I Famagu’on-ta, a groundbreaking children’s mental health initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS). I Famagu’on-ta was initially funded in 2002 to develop and implement a system of care for children and youth with serious emotional and behavioral disorders. A system of care is a “coordinated network of community based services and supports that is organized to meet the challenges of children and youth, ages 5-21, with serious mental health needs and their families.” 1 Through the collaborative efforts of I Famagu’on-ta, Guam CEDDERS, child serving agencies, non-profit organizations, the Guam System of Care Council, and strong family and youth advocacy efforts, the local government committed resources to sustain this important initiative after federal funding ended on September 30, 2009. During the past year, Guam CEDDERS I Famagu’on-ta Evaluation Team: * Conducted comprehensive data collection through caregiver and youth interviews using a standardized interview protocol of 11 instruments for caregivers and 8 for youth. * Conducted structured interviews with collaborative partners and focus groups with front line service providers. * Conducted an analysis of this information which appears in an annual Evaluation Report that was produced locally and disseminated nationally. * Developed digital stories with the Youth Evaluation Team, documenting their personal stories of dealing with mental health issues, which are being used to raise awareness and reduce stigma. * Presented two poster papers at national conferences, as well as co-facilitated a topical discussion on cultural competency issues in children’s mental health to highlight their work and positive outcomes. The hard work of the Team was recognized nationally as evidenced by their receiving an “Excellence in Evaluation” award from SAMHSA in the category of “Involving Families and Youth” at the summer System of Care Institutes.

Page 19 Inclusive Communities Facilitating activities that provide a variety of training and technical assistance opportunities that promote the increase of meaningful community involvement of individuals with disabilities and their families is the focus of the Inclusive Communities Initiative Area. The areas of emphasis included in this Initiative Area are: Education and Assistive Technology Project Menhalom (Wisdom)Also known as the “Character Education grant,” “PBIS Project,” or “Middle School Grant,” Project Menhalom involves a partnership between the Guam Public School System and Guam CEDDERS. Guam CEDDERS’ role in this partnership is to provide assistance to guide the implementation process of the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) system in Guam’s middle schools. Funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, the goal of the project is to reduce school violence and other problematic behaviors and increase academic achievement in Guam’s public middle schools. Activities this year included: * Training for members of the School Climate Cadres. Members are tasked with being the first line facilitators for implementing PBIS in their schools. * Facilitating the development of action plans and reporting of the progress of PBIS implementation. * Train-the-Trainer sessions on “Positive Action,” the character education curriculum selected for Project Menhalom. * On-site technical assistance to facilitate implementation, including analysis of School-wide Information System (SWIS) data to determine problem behaviors and make decisions on strategies to address them. Palau Training and Technical Assistance Project Guam CEDDERS provided technical assistance and training under this Initiative Area to the Palau Ministry of Education, Special Education Program on “Behavioral Assessments & Intervention Plans” to address the development, implementation, and evaluation of behavioral assessments for providing appropriate special education services for students with challenging behaviors. IDEA Part B and Part C Technical Assistance for: CNMI Pubic School System, FSM National Department of Education, Guam Public School System The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires each entity to report annually on the performance of compliance and results-oriented measures through the development of State Performance Plans (SPPs) and Annual Performance Reports (APRs). Guam CEDDERS was contracted to provide technical support for the development of these entity’s SPPs and APRs for IDEA Part B, the requirements for special education and IDEA Part C, the requirements for early intervention. Technical support also included facilitation of prioritized SPP improvement activities, such as the review of parent and family surveys.

Page 21 The Pacific Assessment Consortium to Implement Fully Innovative Change (PACIFIC) Project Usually referred to as the “PAC6” Project, this project provides for the facilitation of the continued collaborative commitment of the six Pacific Basin entities to build regional and local capacity for the development and full implementation of high-quality alternate assessments based on alternate academic achievement standards (AA-AAS). These six entities, including American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau, use alternate academic achievement standards to obtain accurate reporting and analysis of participation and performance data of students with significant cognitive disabilities in each entity’s inclusive assessment system. The concerted efforts to build regional and local capacity speaks to the commitment of the PAC6 to “implement fully innovative change” in how research and best practices can be effectively applied in multi-lingual, multi-cultural island communities with varying infrastructure capacities for economic, health, and educational development. Accomplished during this reporting period were: * “The PAC6 Journey” GSEG III: Regional Assessment Institute #1, which focused on improving local capacity for reporting and analyzing participation and performance data. This institute was held on Guam and was attended by 65 general and Special Education teachers, school administrators, Special Education program coordinators, curriculum and evaluation specialists from all six entities. * The startup of producing locally made video clips to support training activities on AA-AAS and how the system impacts changes in curriculum, instruction, and assessment for students with significant cognitive disabilities. * On-site visits to participating jurisdictions provided by Guam CEDDERS staff and PAC6 consultants to provide direct support on AA-AAS. * GSEG III: Regional “Cadre” Training Strands held on Guam for 72 participants from the region. Strands addressed “Scoring and Standard Setting,” “Implementing with Integrity Validity Instruments,” and “Developing Local Media Clips for Local Training.” * Presentations at the Annual Pacific Rim and TASH Conferences on “Accessing the General Curriculum for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities.” Find out more about PAC6 and the Pacific Project online at www.pac6.org.

Text in colored box: The Pacific Assessment Consortium (PAC6) The Pacific Assessment Consortium (PAC6) aims to build local capacity of six Pacific Basin entities - American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Republic of Palau--- to accurately report the participation and performance of students with disabilities in each entity’s inclusive assessment system. For more information, log on to www.pac6.org. Page 22 Pacific Consortium for Instructional Materials Accessibility Project (CIMAP) CIMAP was started in 2007 to implement an 18-month project designed to facilitate the timely distribution of educational materials in appropriate accessible formats for students with disabilities as required by IDEA. As indicated in its name, a consortium of Pacific jurisdictions comprised of representatives from the Special Education programs in American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau was established to advance this process. The following activities took place during the past year helping to achieve the overall outcome of the project to implement and/or enhance each entity’s system for providing accessible educational materials for students in K-12, while meeting the National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standards (NIMAS) and the National Instructional Materials Accessibility Center (NIMAC) requirements: * The CIMAP Summer 2008 Institute was held on Guam. Approximately 60 Jurisdiction Implementation Team members attended this intensive training to transform instructional materials for students with print disabilities using technology. Once the materials were “transformed,” participants were provided guidance on how materials and equipment could be used in a classroom. * On-site technical assistance was provided in each jurisdiction to facilitate the implementation of services. This included setting up “CIMAP Resource Centers” stocked with over $300,000 worth of equipment, hardware, and software. In addition, technical assistance was provided on setting up standard operating procedures for the management, production, documentation, delivery of accessible instructional materials, and using the web-based data collection system. * A Regional Project Leadership Team Meeting held on Guam was attended by 43 participants including the Chief State School Officers, Special Education Directors, Curriculum Chiefs, and other key personnel from each of the entities. Policies, procedures, and related concerns were addressed.

To fulfill this mission, GSAT offered the following services and programs: * GSAT Demonstration and Resource Center allows community members to visit, learn, and make an informed decision in selecting the best AT to meet their needs through AT device demonstrations and equipment displays. * AT Device Lending Library provides the community with the opportunity to experience any device available at the center for a period of 30-days or less, free of charge, to assist them in making a decision about assistive technology. * AT Recycling & Exchange Program is a service that helps get “previously owned” AT devices into the hands of people with disabilities that need them, usually at a lower price than buying new. * Alternative Funding Programs provide the community a means to purchase AT or pursue home-based employment with low-interest loans. * The Guam Options for Alternative Loans – Assistive Technology Loan Program (GOAL-AT) is a federally funded island-wide program available to individuals with disabilities that provides affordable financial loans for the purchase of assistive technology devices and services. * Get Guam Teleworking (GGT) Loan Program is a federally funded program administered by GSAT. The mission of the program is to offer affordable financial loans to help individuals with disabilities purchase equipment in order to telework. Telework is defined as paid employment that is regularly performed at a place other than the employer’s office or place of business, such as the worker’s home or a telework center.

Page 26 Project Håtsa (To Raise or To Build) In partnership with the Guam Public School System, Guam CEDDERS administered Project Håtsa, GPSS’ structural framework to develop and implement education reform focusing on teacher certification, teacher preparation, professional growth, supervision, and evaluation through systemic change. In its third and final year, this systemic change was guided by a broad cross-section of community stakeholders. The project has been successful in meeting the goals set forth in its plan: the updating and implementation of new teacher certification requirements; the development and implementation of high-quality alternate routes for initial teacher certification; the updating of administrator standards; the establishment of a mentoring program for new teachers; the redesign of the recertification program for teachers; the institutionalization of meaningful and effective professional development practices; and the implementation of a mini-grant program to fund the acquisition of technology aimed to increase student achievement. Project REAL (Realize, Empower and Apply Locally)Through Project REAL, Guam CEDDERS provided technical assistance to the Federated States of Micronesia National Department of Education to assist them in meeting established priorities for the national and state Special Education programs. Areas addressed included program development, implementation of the Local Monitoring Systems, development of the State Performance Plan and Annual Performance Report.

Photo and text in colored box: Accessible Parking TV Spots - Increasing public awareness about accessible parking is an on-going effort. During the months of December and January, Guam CEDDERS was able to obtain free airtime on two local stations and several cable TV channels to run two 30-second video ads with the message that accessible parking is for qualified people with disabilities. In a clip taken from one of the TV ads, Roland Taimanglo, left, is shown taking apart his wheelchair as he is about to enter his car. Page 27 Postsecondary Education Program Network Guam CEDDERS collaborated with the PEPNet-West based at California State University, Northridge, by serving as a resource site to coordinate activities relating to services and supports for deaf/hard of hearing youth and adults who are transitioning from secondary to post secondary settings. The initial activity consisted of collecting demographics for our region and developing a needs assessment of what is currently available for deaf/hard of hearing students in their home islands. Based on this information, training was conducted in Saipan, CNMI and Guam in May on “Deaf/Hard of Hearing: Understanding Leads to Success.” Participants of this training included parents, teachers, interpreters, transition coordinators, job coaches, vocational rehabilitation counselors, and coordinators of support services for students with disabilities at post-secondary institutions of education. A special evening meeting was held on each island so that students, parents, and families could interact with the PEPNet consultants, ask questions, and obtain more information on educational and employment opportunities available for students who are deaf/hard of hearing. Similar activities will be held in the rest of the region over the next two years.
