How can I become a teacher of the deaf?
JTC offers accredited Master’s and Credential Programs both online and on-campus in collaboration with the University of San Diego.
Can I really teach my child to talk?
Yes. Today’s cochlear implants and digital hearing aids allow most children who are deaf and hard of hearing to develop excellent listening and speaking skills. This is the focus of JTC's onsite preschool. |
