🤟 WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DAY OF LEARNING, CONNECTION, AND HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE! 🤟

On Saturday, October 10, NVRC welcomed participants for our second ProTactile Workshop, led by the wonderful Professor Jason “JC” Corning!

What a fantastic experience! Throughout the day, participants explored ProTactile communication through interactive demonstrations, hands-on activities, and meaningful conversations about accessibility, communication, and connection within the DeafBlind community.

As you can see from the photos, this wasn't a sit-and-listen workshop! Participants were actively engaged, learning through touch, practicing new techniques, asking questions, and discovering new ways to communicate and connect.

💜 A HUGE thank-you to Jason Corning for sharing his knowledge, expertise, passion, and enthusiasm. His engaging teaching style helped make this an unforgettable learning experience.

👏 Thank you also to our incredible interpreters, NVRC staff, volunteers, and everyone who participated. Your curiosity, openness, and willingness to learn made the day so special!

At NVRC, we believe accessibility is about more than providing accommodations. It's about building understanding, respecting different ways of communicating, and creating opportunities for meaningful human connection.

🌷 MISSED THIS ONE? STAY TUNED!

We're already looking forward to our next ProTactile Workshop in SPRING 2027! Watch NVRC's page and eNews for announcements and registration details.

Together, we're building a more accessible and connected community! 🤟💜
