The 4-hour deaf sensitivity training class is entitled I Never Gave THAT a Thought! This series of collaborative training is for invited Arizona organizations, agencies and departments, towns, cities, counties, bureaus including federal agencies such as FLET-C, US Marshals Service, FEMA, EEOC, FBI, CIA, US Border Patrol, HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas-DEA), TSA located or operating within the State of Arizona.
This area of the website is for the class on SATURDAY, July 10, 2021. 0900-hours to 1300-hours.
Additional dates are being scheduled. You are invited to call us at HQ at 480 615-8900 or from northern AZ at 702 430-8685 to suggest dates that may not be shown on this website yet, or contact us via email at DeafSensitivity@DeptOfEd.org
Looking at this page, you have most probably received our invitation to participate or have been referred to it by someone in the field.
Due to the number of invited organizations, especially law enforcement in Arizona, starting times for the 4-hour class will vary. Some will start at 0700, 0900, 1200,1300, AND EVEN 0200 (2:00AM!) This scheduling will make it easier for those after the midnight hour to benefit from this unique and exclusive class.
Recently, a new high interest segment has been introduced about Deaf in prison, which should be of keen interest to many. The subject of federal law and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) may assist in leveraging liability and compliance as well as enhancing on-the-job performance and safety for everyone.
AZ-sworn personnel may request a course completion certificate for AZ-POST credit.
PLEASE NOTE that AZ-POST requires that you have a working camera while taking the class on your computer, iPad or tablet in order to receive appropriate training credit. We discourage the use of smartphones due to the small screens on those devices. Participant material will be sent via email once you are registered. It is requested that you purchase an inexpensive pair of earplugs for our "dive into the pool of silence" segment. American Sign Language (ASL) is touched upon. Learning the ASL alphabet and some useful words and phrases will be extremely useful on the job as well as in you private life.
