Deaf and Hard of Hearing Accessible Technology

State of the Science Conference

Call for Presentations

A group of people sit in a circle in a well-lit room. In the foreground, a person with short hair and a floral arm tattoo is signing in American Sign Language (ASL), with both hands raised mid-sign. Other participants are watching and engaging in conversation, creating a collaborative and inclusive atmosphere.

Are you currently a student working on research related to deaf or hard of hearing accessibility?

We want to hear from you! Submit a short proposal for a chance to present your work to a national audience — and receive both recognition and the chance to win a prize.

Topics include but are not limited to:

  • Captioning technology and display customization
  • Usability of hearing aids, cochlear implants, or mobile apps
  • Innovations in sign language tools or recognition systems
  • Accessibility in schools, workplaces, or public spaces
  • Disability policy, evaluation, and advocacy
  • Any bold idea that supports the DHH community!

All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be invited to present during the conference. We will offer both face-to-face and remote options.

Submission deadline: July 23, 2025 (Anywhere on Earth)
