Watch NowLearn more about Helen Keller Services' collaboration with The Feeling Through Experience
Inspired by a chance encounter with a deaf-blind man on the streets of Manhattan, writer/director Doug Roland wrote the script for a short film entitled Feeling Through. The film is the first ever to cast a deaf-blind person in a co-leading role. Doug partnered with HKNC in the making of this film and ultimately cast Robert Tarango, a former HKNC student and employee, in the role of the deaf-blind man. Feeling Through tells the story of the unlikely connection between a teen in need and a deaf-blind man. It is about the powerful experiences and meaningful relationships we can have and demonstrates that our capacity to connect transcends our differences.

Resources for Consumers and Professionals during COVID-19
We have collected some resources we hope you find helpful in these unprecedented times. Included are some resources about COVID-19 in English, Spanish, and ASL. Additionally, many individuals are working remotely or trying to continue consumer learning from home, and we have included a variety of resources (some for consumers and some for professionals). This is by no means a comprehensive list, but we hope you will find something for you or your clients.
