If you are deaf/hoh and go for counseling, AA, Drug treatment, parenting, or family violence classes, etc. in-patient or out patient — and cannot understand lip-reading or the signs used by Dr. or Therapist, request an
interpreter. You have a legal right to effective communication.
If you need help from the Regional Specialists pls contact me:
