TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 Troy University welcomed students to Camp Success<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camp Success, a program ran by the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services<\/a> (ADRS), has made its way back to TROY’s campus. The partnership dates back nearly a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s probably been about nine or ten years,” said State Coordinator of Deaf\/HH Services Ben Hollingsworth. “We’ve been happy here at the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services to partner with Troy and we look forward to doing it every year.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some first-year students have a hard time adjusting to college. Students who are hearing-impaired may have an even harder time; that is where Camp Success steps in to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The objective of the camp is to show deaf and heard of hearing students the experience of living on a college campus,” Hollingsworth said. “We want to encourage them to do better to understand what they need to prepare for in the first year of college.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the camp is to show campers what college life could be like for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A real world experience,” Hollingsworth added. “We give them opportunities to experience living in a dorm, experience going into the class room, learning about possible accommodations they might need like using an interpreter or using cart services.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hollingsworth also had some tips for hearing students on how to make hearing-impaired students feel more comfortable on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Treat students with hearing loss the same as any other student; when you talk with them look them in the eye, if they have hearing loss or they’re hard of hearing you may have to speak up, speak clearly.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
