Communication access is essential. For individuals who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or DeafBlind, access to interpreters, captioning, and assistive technology can make a meaningful difference in everyday life. From healthcare appointments to community events, accessibility helps ensure everyone can fully participate.

At DHHSC, we are here to help connect individuals and families with the resources they need to stay informed and supported.
