NTID Communication Studies and Services (CSS)

Expand your communication skills

The NTID Communication Studies and Services Department (CSS) provides a broad range of support and opportunity for deaf and hard-of-hearing students who want to expand communication skills that will serve them—both during and after college—in educational, professional, community, and other settings.

Whether you seek audiology, speech-language, or cochlear implant services, you can count on CSS faculty and staff to work with you to determine your needs and provide assistance.

All students, whether they choose to use Spoken English or ASL, can benefit from the Communication Studies curriculum. Courses are designed to help students hone their communication skill set and enhance their ability to connect in their personal and professional lives.

The Audiology Center and Speech & Language Center are part of NTID's Communication Studies and Services department, which is located on the third floor of LBJ (Building 60), in the northeast corner of the RIT campus. Once you are on campus, you may enter the north end of the LBJ building (near the cube sculpture) and take the elevator up to the third floor. You will then walk through a set of double doors ahead of you.

The Audiology Center and The Shop, LBJ-3130, will be at the far end of this hallway, on your right. Appointment scheduling and on-call services may be accessed in The Shop.

The Speech & Language Center, LBJ-3225, is located by walking past the Audiology Center, and then through the set of double doors on your right at the very end of the hallway. The Speech & Language Center will be on your immediate left.
