The National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) in Rochester, New York, first util ized the facilities of the Strasenburgh Planetarium during the summer of 1969. At that time, a group of young deaf people from the Junior National Association of the Deaf (NAD) visited the campus at Rochester I nstitute of Technology. I n the course of their visit they attended a performance at the Planetarium. No preliminary arrangements, such as script preview, dividing the program into sections, pre-show lectures, or captioning of the program were provided. At the end of the program, interpreters assisted in a discussion and question/answer period. The members reported that they enjoyed the experience but did not understand all of it.
