Established at the beginning of the 1970s, the Deafness Research and Training Center in New York University’s School of Education was active in training interpreters and deaf educators, researching assistive technology and advocating for deaf-accessible TV, and raising public awareness of deafness.

As its director from 1970 to 1986, Dr. Schein was deeply involved in its work. This series includes some sample curricula for interpreter training and teaching severely impaired students, research and grant proposals, reports on studies made by the DRTC, correspondence, newsletters, and activity reports.

See series 8, 12, and 14-17 for more material from Dr. Schein’s work at DRTC. Series 24 has some photographs from DRTC events and projects.
