The Conference Logo
On November 14 and 15, Gallaudet University presented the conference “Making Connections: Neuropsychological Assessment and Applications with Individuals who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.”
Hosted by the Department of Psychology, and coordinated by CPSO’s conferences and events planner Sherry Duhon, the conference was created for the purpose of bringing together professionals in the field of deafness and psychology already trained or possessing a developing interest in neuropsychological assessment and interventions.

The National KODA Family Conference (NKFC) will be held on the campus of Gallaudet University on July 8-12, 2009. The conference is designed for deaf parents of hearing children and their families.
The KODA logo
The idea of having a national conference geared for families with deaf parents and hearing children (commonly referred to as “koda families”) was born from the desire to have a medium that would connect people from all over the country. By examining and celebrating the special relationship and cultural identities of hearing children and their deaf parents, as well as the family dynamic as a whole, we believe that a greater understanding and awareness of ourselves and our families will be achieved. And as a result, we will also have a deeper, stronger family bond.
