A workshop for those seeking resources and information about the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community was hosted last week at Kachemak Bay Campus. Dubbed “Advocacy and Etiquette for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing,” the event offered a training and community conversation with Sharon Miranda, coordinator of Deaf supports for Hope Community Resources.
