Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services

If you are deaf or hard of hearing, you may be eligible for services such as:

  • Sign Language Interpreter
  • Transcriber - transcribers use Computer Assisted Real-Time Captioning (CART) and/or Typewell systems to provide instant translation of verbal communication in the classroom or at events into text. You can then view the text in real-time on a laptop set up in the classroom or event.
  • FM System - FM system consists of a transmitter microphone used by the speaker (e.g. the professor) and a receiver worn by the student. The receiver picks up and transmits the voice of the speaker directly to the student.

Should you have any questions all of the above services are coordinated by Laura Armour (laura.armour@kbcc.cuny.edu)
