CURE courses were developed for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (D/HH) students in the Laboratory Science Technology program (Lynn et al. 2020) at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf of Rochester Institute of Technology. Notably, the developed CUREs enrolled all D/HH students and also fulfilled a requirement for the two-year degree program. Attending to accessibility, the courses were taught in American Sign Language and focused on best practices for working with D/HH students in the lab.
