Comments
There were multiple features that drew me to the IPEI2 project, but the financial assistance was a huge factor. My favorite part being the allowance to attend conferences. The IPEI2 project prepares me to be successful in my future career by already establishing connections and interprofessional development. The opportunity to work with SLP students and professionals helps prepare me for accepting a Teacher of the Deaf job in the future. My interest in this field began when I started taking sign language classes and saw the need for Deaf Educators. I have a passion for working with children and was able to combine that with hearing loss.
