Online courses for deaf and hard of hearing?
Question:
Answer:
Hi. I have the perfect answer for you. Given your special needs, you should check out Education Connection. It's a free service that matches students with the right online university. They ask you questions pertaining to your unique situation then find schools that fit.
So for instance if a student is deaf, they would look for schools that use equipment that enable dead and hard of hearing students to succeed--that sort of thing.
Just go to their website, fill in the short form, then get started.
It's fast, simple and easy and you can get all the info you need. Good luck!

Try Gallaudet College (its the national college for the Deaf)--they may have such courses, or at least info on them.

However, most college courses/programs offereed online are accessible to the deaf/hard-of-hearing. Check out your local community colleges as well as universities.
I STRONGLY reccomend you stick to public or traditional private colleges. The courses are better quality than the commercial schools (e.g. DeVry or University of Phoenix)--and you certainly get a better value for your money. In addition, most public colleges/universities (including communitity colleges) have both better student support and specific support for students with disabilities, when and as needed.
