FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The first Northern Arizona Deaf Expo is scheduled for 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 11 on the Coconino Community College Lone Tree Campus.
The free event will feature some 30 exhibitors and a full day of presenters highlighting deaf education opportunities, American Sign Language, technology such as the video phone, and interpretation training. The Deaf Expo also will offer entertainment, children’s activities and prizes.
“As a sign language interpreter, I often meet people, parents of deaf children, service providers, people who are unaware of what is available. I thought it would be useful to bring these providers together with those who are in need of information to improve the services to deaf and hard of hearing people,” said Deaf Expo coordinator Sarah Benton.
Organizations helping to create the event include CCC Disability Resources and Languages Departments, Arizona Relay Service, and the Arizona Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
