deaf or
hard of hearing. As one of nine colleges within the
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in
Rochester, New York, NTID provides academic programs, access,
ASL in-class interpreters and support services—including on-site audiological, speech-language, and
cochlear implant support .As of fall
