ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester Institute of Technology’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf teamed up with the Strong National Museum of Play for the Deaf Day of Play.
WHECThe rich history and culture of Rochester’s deaf community was celebrated with fourth-year students providing free interpreting services. All activities were interpreted, including an opportunity to learn about butterflies from a museum biologist in the Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden.
“Here in Rochester, it’s the largest deaf population per capita in the U.S. So, that means we should provide events all over Rochester to be accessible for deaf children, deaf families, deaf parents,” said Danny Maffia, practicum coordinator in the Department of ASL and Interpreting Education at RIT.
He also said most days at the museum, there are not interpreters, so the event was a perfect day to provide access for the museum.
