The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) and Temple University are requesting providers of ODP waiver services to complete a brief survey. ODP and Temple are striving to increase the number of staff who have conversational sign language skills. This is to support individuals who use American Sign Language or some form of signed language (gestural communication). The first step is to confirm how many providers have staff with documented or native sign language skills.
Use this survey link to complete and submit the survey by November 15, 2024. If you need further assistance, please contact the ODP Deaf Services Coordinator.
