The Clerc Center is collecting public input on critical needs for deaf and hard of hearing children in three priority areas: family involvement, literacy, and transition from high school to postsecondary education and employment. Comments about these critical needs are being collected through an on-line questionnaire that can be found at: http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/About/info-request.asp. No personally identifying information will be included with the responses and the results will be summarized in a future issue of Odyssey (http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/Odyssey/index.html). **************************************************************** Information about this E-Newsletter: You are receiving this e-mail because we received a subscription or information request via our Web site.
