Driver Education Course
It is my pleasure to provide an opportunity for the Deaf and Hard-of Hearing (HH) students who wish to take a summer Driver Education course. I am a certified Driver Education instructor at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kan. Any individuals of all ages can obtain their driver's license and become safe and defensive drivers.This Driver Education course is offered for deaf and hard of hearing students who communicate through American Sign Language (ASL). This course helps students develop the knowledge, skill and attitude necessary to become safe, low-risk and responsible drivers.
The content of this course and the driving opportunities will be taught by a deaf instructor. An interpreter will be provided at the first class.
Students must be 14 years old and have a current learner's permit.
This information can also be retrieved at http://www.jccc.edu/communityservices/driver-training/. The sharing of the information with the parents of interested students is much appreciated.
If you have questions, please do contact me, Mark Kerns, at mkerns@kssdb.org. Thank you.
