The experience of the deaf in a hearing-majority workplace is filled with frustration, secondhand information and the annoyance of always being "the last to know."

Using computer training coursework as the essential skills delivery vehicle, materials were specifically designed to help level the playing field and to make equality more of a reality for deaf workers.
