Starting this fall, the Collegiate Education for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Persons Program, which has been housed exclusively at Northwestern Connecticut Community College in Winsted since 1974, will also be available as a pilot program for students at Capital Community College in Hartford.

The program will offer developmental English instruction and tutoring in computer applications for deaf and hard-of-hearing students who are interested in attending mainstreamed classes at Capital.

It also offers support services for the students. Mark J. Myers, director of the program at Northwestern Connecticut Community College, said administrators at both colleges are joining together to provide supportive and equal educational opportunities for the deaf and hard of hearing students.
