Education

You can provide a fuller experience for your students who are deaf or hard of hearing without breaking your budget. When a student who is deaf/HOH asks for accommodations beyond the scope of typical services, such as interpreters or CART, what is your answer?

Do you have a solution that addresses the need for spontaneous, face to face communication such as informal study groups, a quick question at the Financial Aid office, or a social club or group?

With a one-time fixed cost, the UbiDuo 3 intrinsically supports student engagement and retention efforts by providing students with access to every office, every activity 24/7/365. No scheduling needed, no predicting “anticipated” budgetary expenses.

The video below will give you a quick overview of how this small, portable device is changing retention and academic success for deaf/HOH students across the country.
