Abstract

This report reflects on my attendance at the ASSETS 2025 conference in Denver, made possible by a SIGACCESS travel grant. As a speaker and co-presenter, I collaborated with Dr. Doga Buse Cavdir to present our paper, "Sonic Agency: A Group Autoethnography of Technology-mediated Performance Practice by Deaf and Hard of Hearing Musicians." This reflection details the significance of our in-person collaboration, the impact of our bilingual presentation, and the professional networking that revealed new academic pathways. The experience validated my technical contributions to accessibility research and opened unexpected doors for completing my degree.
