The Gallaudet University Regional Centers (GURCs) offer extension courses, training workshops, and technical assistance to address the educational, transition, and professional development needs of deaf and hard of hearing people from birth through adulthood. Families and professionals also benefit. Please contact your local GURC site for further information.
Extension Courses
In partnership with Gallaudet University, the GURCs offer courses for deaf and hard of hearing people, their families, and the professionals who work with them. Courses provide opportunities to study with recognized experts in such fields as American Sign Language Linguistics, Deaf Studies, Deaf Education, and Interpreting. These courses are provided through the GURCs, often in collaboration with sponsoring agencies serving deaf and hearing communities. Schools for deaf students, special education school districts, interpreter training programs, or professional organizations can be sponsoring agencies.
Workshops
Center for Continuing Studies (CCS) collaborates with the GURCs in offering workshops related to its national mission priorities of literacy, family involvement, and transition from school to postsecondary education and employment. The GURCs also offer workshops and training on other topics.
