The DSC staff works to empower deaf or hard of hearing
clients who need assistance in overcoming communication barriers and accessing
community resources. This is accomplished through information exchange and
referral to appropriate service providers throughout Southwest Florida.
The Deaf Service Center is
considered a central source of information on Deafness,
sign language,
communication systems, interpreting, and
adaptive equipment for deaf and hard of
hearing individuals.
The DSC also provides information and
advocacy related to the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA),
the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) and the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
