"The training provided by CAPE about sexual abuse prevention was of tremendous benefit to our staff. It increased our awareness of the prevalence of sexual abuse and signs we need to look for. Ultimately, we are providing a safer environment for our students." - Craig Jacobs, Principal, Multi-handicapped School, South Carolina School for the Deaf and Blind.

"I have benefited from training offered by CAPE-DHH. I have attended training sponsored by them in three different settings; for professional trainers, for parents and for teachers. Each time I learned something new and was helped to think about ways to protect deaf children from potential abuse. Our school recently implemented a sex education curriculum, and my interaction with the CAPE-DHH staff helped affirm that the program we established was comprehensive and addressed all of the nationally recommended guidelines for content. CAPE-DHH offers an important service to deaf children and to the community of people who work with them. I recommend their trainings and the resources they provide." - Patricia Mann, School Social Worker, Louisiana School for the Deaf

"In the role of School Psychologist, I am frequently called upon to discuss sexual issues/abuse with students and parents, as well as faculty/staff members. The CAPE-DHH training I received has been invaluable ... I highly recommend CAPE-DHH and the training/resources they provide to any organization serving deaf persons." - Maria Stephens, M.S., L.P.C, N.C.S.P., Certified School Psychologist, Louisiana School for the Deaf

"Mr. Lineberger is a wonderful presenter...held the attention of his audience." - Pamela Hervey, Curriculum/Vocational Education Director, Mississippi School for the Deaf

We are very fortunate to add this presentation/workshop to our list of professional development activities for the year." - Michelle Butler, Coordinator of Residential Education, South Carolina School for the Deaf and Blind
