Where can I access interpreter services for people who are deaf or hard of hearing?
Depending on the person’s communications needs, you may receive assistance from the Virginia Department of Deaf and Hard of Hearing (VDDHH). VDDHH providers an interpreter directory if the person requires a sign language interpreter. As you schedule ongoing meetings you may also use Virginia Relay to call the person – just dial 711! If the person is hard of hearing, you may use an assistive listening device. Call VDDHH for information in devices available for loan. We also have local contact people called Outreach specialists who can assist you with ongoing needs for customers with hearing loss. For more information call VDDHH at 1-800-552-7917 V/TTY or visit their website at www.vddhh.
