Deaf & Hard of Hearing Resources in Bucks County PA

Throughout this course we have explored assistive technology through the foundational text Assistive Technology in the Classroom; Enhancing School Experiences of Children in the Classroom. Currently, I am researching and intrigued by enhancing communication for individuals that are deaf and hard of hearing.

I wondered to myself, "What resources are available to those deaf & hard of hearing in my area?" After researching and building upon my prior knowledge I found the following two websites;

http://www.disabilityresources.org/PENNSYLVANIA.html

This first site, the Disability Resource Organization of Pennsylvania, provides a breakdown of various resource categorized by disability. There are close to twenty organizations within the state that are listed on this website.

This is an incredible resource. The Pennsylvania Assistive Technology Foundation boasts an incredibly easy website to navigate, and provides so many wonderful links, resources and information about assistive technology opportunities in the states, especially in regards to deaf and hard of hearing. By clicking on the tab "Resources" and then "Hearing Loss", the user is redirected to a page filled with a variety of centers and offices in the state that provide support, knowledge and resources for hard of hearing individuals and their families.
