| Presenter Information | Brent Tracy, B.Ed, NIC, Ed:K-12 Brent is a dual nationally certified interpreter and CODbA (Child of a Deaf-Blind Adult). Having one hearing and one Deaf parent afforded him the opportunity to grow up as a bilingual using both English and ASL.

However, his current position as owner/CEO of Equal Access Resources is his proudest achievement.

Today, Brent continues to travel abroad presenting workshops, training and mentoring service providers about equal access for the Deaf and Deafblind. |
