NCDHH Deaf Education Roundtable

The conversation continues.

Following the October 28 LR389 public hearing, NCDHH is bringing the community together for an open discussion about Deaf and Hard of Hearing education in Nebraska.

While the public hearing provides an opportunity to share input with legislators, the roundtable provides space for the community to talk with each other, go deeper into experiences and concerns, ask questions, identify gaps, and explore ideas for the future.

Can’t attend the LR389 hearing? Have more you want to discuss afterward? Just want to be part of the conversation? You’re invited.

You do not need to attend the LR389 hearing or have prior knowledge of LR389 to participate.

Time: 5:00–7:00 p.m. Central Time
Location: Ashland Public Library, North Meeting Room
