Breast Cancer Awareness Month
One of our DWR members, Sally Skyer, was featured in an article from the Breast Cancer Coalition's Autumn 2026 newsletter, "Expanding Access to Breast Health Information Through Our Partnership with RIT/NTID" (pages 11 & 25). The article is about making breast health information accessible in ASL. It also shares about free ASL breast health videos at bccr.org/education.
