DSAT Master Trainers with NCIEC DSAT Workteam Members

In March of 2010, thirty deaf and hard of hearing advocacy specialists participated in a three-day workshop with the goal of becoming DSAT Consumer Trainers.  Since that time, they have provided consumer trainings throughout the country.  This group of individuals was chosen for their knowledge of and passion for advocacy, their desire to provide advocacy training, and for their access to the Deaf Community and consumers of vocational rehabilitation.

In August of 2011, fourteen of these individuals returned for second three-day meeting at Gallaudet to share their experiences, provide feedback and suggestions for the upcoming Second Edition of the curriculum and develop a train-the-trainer curriculum. This core group of fourteen is referred to as DSAT Master Trainers. In addition to providing consumer trainings, they are qualified to conduct train-the-trainer trainings to deaf, hard of hearing and deaf-blind individuals interested in becoming a DSAT Consumer Trainer.
