Friend , News from the Statewide Outreach Center- June 2022

Summer is the prime opportunity for connections – those new, and rekindling those more familiar.

At one of SOC’s professional development opportunities this summer, you can connect with other deaf education or interpreting professionals.

And for parents to connect at the Statewide Conference for Education of the Deaf, be sure to check out Texas Hands and Voices’ Family Fun event, and SOC’s Color My Future.

Connections can also happen through the exchange of information. ASL Storytelling Live! classes are available to in their classrooms across the state. Get your class registered now.

Also below, be sure to check out TSD’s new resource easily accessible to assist your ARD/IEP meetings.

We hope you’ll connect with us this month!
