Deaf and Hard of Hearing Conference Comes to CSN
How can we better support students and colleagues who are Deaf, Deaf Blind or hard of hearing? An upcoming conference at CSN offers a great opportunity to learn, connect and become a stronger advocate.
The Nevada Commission for Persons who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing’s 2026 Engagement Conference takes place Nov. 13-14, bringing together community members, educators and advocates for two days of interactive workshops, conversations and learning.
CSN faculty and staff are encouraged to consider attending! Whether you work directly with students, teach in the classroom or support campus operations, this conference offers valuable insight into creating more accessible and inclusive environments.
Attendees can explore topics including effective communication, accessibility, community partnerships and legislative advocacy. Sessions will also address issues affecting Nevada’s Deaf, DeafBlind and hard of hearing communities, including captioning in public spaces, American Sign Language education and access to essential services.
With Nevada’s 2027 legislative session approaching, the conference will also help participants better understand how advocacy and collaboration can influence meaningful change.
Here’s another reason to attend: Registration is FREE for Nevada residents! Registration also includes refreshments and meals, and attendees can choose from three educational tracks based on their interests.
This is an opportunity to listen, learn and bring new perspectives back to our classrooms, offices and campus community.
