Individual Who is Deaf
Katie Delgadillo - I became Deaf at the age of two from spinal meningitis. I was not supposed to walk but overcame my challenges. I learn best by being hands on with everything. I received my A. A. in Elementary Education and am currently working on my bachelor’s degree in Elementary and Special Education. My goal is to receive a master’s degree in Deaf Education. I am currently a keynote speaker for my former professor at College of Western Idaho (CWI) for one of her classes that focuses on the students with hearing losses every semester. I have been doing this for about 5 years now and I LOVE it. I also am a Deaf advocate for many Deaf students plus the students who are hearing and in the Extended Resources Room. I currently work at Van Buren Elementary school, working with hearing students with disabilities and teaching them how to sign, how to communicate, and how to prove that they know what they need to do to meet their goals. I used to work for West Ada school district in Meridian in the DHH program for almost ten years! I also provide access and support for English By Eye projects.
