Since 2010, more than 250 deaf and hard of hearing advocacy specialists have been trained as DSAT Consumer Trainers. This group of individuals possesses the knowledge of and passion for advocacy, their desire to provide advocacy training, and
for their access to the Deaf Community and consumers of vocational rehabilitation. Fourteen members of this group are referred to as DSAT Master Trainers. In addition to providing consumer trainings, they are qualified to conduct train-the-trainer
trainings to deaf, hard of hearing and deaf-blind individuals interested in becoming a DSAT Consumer Trainer.

must also have: • Native level fluency in ASL • A strong knowledge of and ongoing exposure to the Deaf community • A working knowledge of the target audience’s needs • In-depth knowledge of local, state and national resources • Ability to translate written
contents into communication modes and/or language choices appropriate for participants.
