I received an email about a week ago from an acquaintance of mine that works at an advocacy centre for anyone with a disability. She wanted help in forming (or reforming) a support system for deaf students and to help prepare them for whatever they choose to do with their life after grade school. There isn't anything of the sort in this area, and I'd really like to help future students in figuring out what they want to do with their life and how to go about doing it.
This place used to have an after school programme for deaf students to meet up and hang out if they didn't go to the local school with the deaf programme. Unfortunately, several years ago that programme has ceased.
I guess what I'm asking is help with ideas of what you guys would have liked to have seen in a such system if it was available for you when you were in school. Such as tutoring systems, career guidance, college guidance, job training, or just plain ol' interaction with other deaf peers.
Any ideas? I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas you guys may have.
