NY School for the Deaf
Executive Director Dr. Janet Dickinson
Today's presentation was about the New York School for the Deaf, founded in 1817 - one of the oldest schools in
the country. Now located in White Plains, the school has a fascinating history and incredibly successful modern
purpose. The Executive Director is Dr. Janet Dickinson, who has energized the School in her two years at the
helm.
It was an excellent presentation - and different because she "signed" the entire speech which was interpreted by
an announcer who "read aloud" the signing. There was a lot of audience participation; in fact,
the audience practiced signing a little bit.
Signing her speech was a real treat (0:51)
