Resource Guide for Supporting Deaf, DeafBlind, Hard of Hearing Individuals

The purpose of this guide is to offer resources in one central location for those who support or care for someone who is Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or DeafBlind and receives supports from ODP.

The Guide provides some of the most frequently accessed resources to assist in addressing the unique needs of these populations, such as information about

American Sign Language (ASL) courses,

home modifications,

assistive technology, a

foundational organizations directory, and so much more!

Development of this guide included input from individuals within the Deaf, DeafBlind, hard of hearing, and hearing communities and will be revised annually.

This Guide is attached and will also be available on MyODP.org under Topics > Special Population Services > Deaf Services.
