"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
