NSF Logo -- Computer training in sign language for people who are deaf

Rochester Instructional Facilities

All workshops in Rochester are offered at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) in the new state-of-the-art DIIT laboratory that was created as part of the DIIT grant.

The new laboratory is located in the Hugh L. Carey Building (room 14-1285) on the NTID/RIT campus. Its principal resources are its computers -- 12 attendee computers, an instructor computer, and a server. All are connected to the Internet, and have a variety of software installed.
