Dr. Marc Marschark, director of the Center for Education Research Partnerships at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology, has been named an honorary professor at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
Marschark, who will work both in Edinburgh’s School of Education and Department of Psychology, will focus on enhancing educational access for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, examining the cognitive and social foundations of learning by deaf students and fostering teaching practices that better support deaf students in all aspects of their development and learning.
Marschark also is an honorary professor in the School of Psychology at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. He is editor of the “Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education” and co-editor of the “Oxford Handbook of Deaf Studies, Language, and Education.” He is the author of “Raising and Educating a Deaf Child.” Much of his research concerns relations between language and learning, with a special emphasis on linguistic and nonlinguistic components of language comprehension.

When I was putting together the list of community resources, I was surprised to find that ALDA (the Association of Late-Deafened Adults) does not have a local chapter. A list on ALDA’s website shows 14 chapters around the country, but the closest one to us is in New Jersey.
Surely that is a mistake, since Rochester and its large deaf community would seem a “natural” for an ALDA chapter. But when I contacted the group, I learned it was no mistake at all.
“At this time, Rochester does not have a chapter nor group in this area,” said Kathy Schlueter, who coordinates ALDA’s chapters and groups.
“I would happy to speak to anyone that may be of interest in starting a chapter or group,” she added. “I have a packet that we send out with ALDA Notes to help them get started and will walk them through the process and be a contact of support while starting up their chapter or group.”
Perhaps there is someone out there looking for something to do who would like to take on the challenge of starting a Rochester ALDA chapter. DeafRoc.com would be happy to help with publicity.
Kathy Schlueter can be reached for an information packet via email KSCtryLn@aim.com or USPS mail: 11038 N. Pleasant Hill Rd., Dakota, IL 61018-9755.
