Statewide Services for People Who Are Deaf and Hard of HearingThe 2006 version of this list identifies two different types of statewide services: (1) commissions or state offices mandated to serve people who are deaf and hard of hearing, and (2) state coordinators of rehabilitation services for people who are deaf. We have combined them in this single list for ease of reference. State Commissions/Office on Deafness: While the scope of services differs from state to state, these programs provide a variety of valuable services. Among the functions are advocacy, information gathering and dissemination, referral to appropriate agencies, interpreting services, statewide planning, job placement, and development. The names of state commissions appear in boldface type. State Coordinators of Rehabilitation Services for Deaf Persons: These coordinators working within state departments of vocational rehabilitation provide a variety of services for clients who are deaf or hard of hearing, including job placement, vocational evaluation, and counseling. Always add the specification, “Rehabilitation Services for Deaf Persons” to the title “state coordinator” or “program manager” (or variation) provided in this listing. TTY, TT, TDD are common acronyms for devices used by deaf and hard of hearing people for typing conversations. This publication uses T. The abbreviation V presents a standard voice phone.
