The Human Development Center’s Louisiana Deafblind Project, in collaboration with other states and the Helen Keller Institute, is providing free online training throughout the month of April to families and professionals who work with students who are deaf-blind. The trainings offer a variety of topics and address both general information and specific topics regarding deafblindness. For dates and registrations see the attached flyer.
The Louisiana Deafblind Project for Children and Youth is housed within the Human Development Center on the LSU Health Sciences Center campus in New Orleans. Researchers and clinicians within the Health Sciences Center have, for many years, recognized the importance of studying the Louisiana Acadians as a genetic founder population. This public television segment highlights some of the recent collaboration between the Department of Genetics and the Louisiana Deafblind Project. https://youtu.be/D5PNE4jWAnA?list=PL7YPMkCACwzzivZ68e9WVeYouyRQJhPKs&t=1292
The Rochester Institute of Technology is offering a research program in Multimessenger Astrophysics, a newly developing discipline of astrophysics that combines gravitational wave astronomy and data analysis, scientific computing, and observational astronomy. Building upon its links to the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, including one faculty mentor who resides there, RIT aims to include at least two deaf and hard-of-hearing students among each year’s cohort of ten students. The program will last 10 weeks, from May 26 to August 1, and students will be provided with a $6000 stipend.
