This week on Many Voices, Many Visions, we take a look at the job market for NTID students. The school recently put on a job fair and had trouble finding local businesses to attend. What are the advantages of hiring a deaf or hearing impaired person? What sort of modification, if any, need to be made to accommodate them? We'll hear from a student who co-oped at Eastman Kodak Company and from an NTID administrator.
Plus, East House is celebrating a busy year of achievements when it comes to helping people overcome mental illness and drug addiction. This year the organization held an event called, "Celebration of Hope and Recovery". At that event actress Patty Duke spoke about her bi-polar diagnosis and how she has learned to thrive in spite of it.
Finally, we meet a woman named Sharon Mathiason. She's the founder of the group "Moonshadow's Spirit". It's goal is to help people with eating disorders. She talks about her group's mission and the very personal reason she started it.
