#43 Self Advocacy at Every Age With Jason Anderson

All Ears at Child's Voice: A Hearing Loss Podcast

On episode #43 of All Ears at Child’s Voice: A Hearing Loss Podcast, Colleen and new co-host Julie are joined by guest Jason Anderson. Jason Anderson is a late deafened adult that has experienced many forms of hearing loss throughout his life. He found his calling and purpose in disability services. He worked for a decade at the University of Wisconsin as an access specialist for students who were deaf and hard of hearing, and he recently made the decision to leave UW M for another opportunity with the State of Wisconsin Office for Deaf and Hard of Hearing, where he is a program and policy analyst. Colleen and Julie talk to Jason about his work helping college aged deaf and hard of hearing students transition to college and advocate for themselves on campus.
