[Ohio-Talk] DeafBlind Culture Workshop – Toledo Announcement

[Lavender Dynasty]

Good morning DeafBlind Committee members and all participants,

I have an announcement.

Julia Felts, who used to work for Columbus Speech & Hearing before it
closed, shared this information with me. She is now part of the DeafBlind
Culture Workshop Committee.

This workshop is not affiliated with the Ohio Affiliate DeafBlind
Committee. It is simply another opportunity for DeafBlind individuals to
receive information, connect with others, and attend a community event.

Columbus Speech & Hearing closed permanently and unexpectedly. The SSP
Program is currently working to find a new home. In the meantime, a
DeafBlind Culture Workshop will be held in Toledo on April 30, 2026.

All are welcome to attend, and CEUs will be available for those who are
interested.
