A statewide interagency team comprised of four state agency programs that serve persons who are deaf, hard of hearing, late deafened or deaf and blind — the Department for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the Department of Rehabilitative Services, the Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired and Valley Community Services Board — will conduct a Town Hall meeting from 2:15 to 4 p.m. Sept. 29 at the Connie Reasor Deaf Resource Center at 860 Park Ave. Virginians who are deaf, hard of hearing or blind are invited.
The meeting, which is free and open to the public, will be conducted as part of the Southwest Virginia Deaf Awareness Day, sponsored by the SWVA Coalition for the Deaf, the Hard of Hearing and the Deaf and Blind.
The one-day event will offer information about services and for Virginians who are deaf, hard of hearing and deaf and blind.
To ensure communication accessibility, sign language interpreters and Communication Access Realtime Translation (also known as realtime captioning) will be provided.
The collaboration seeks to create a formal mechanism to support each agency's efforts to improve services, identify service gaps and further develop or improve access to services within or outside the collaborating agencies.
For more information about the meeting, contact Gary Talley at the Virginia Department for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing at (800) 552-7917 or (804) 662-9502.
