Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services
While 'Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services' is the title for this page,  the services that the Independent Living Resource Center provide are designed to meet the individual needs of our consumers with respect to the wide range of identities and experiences.


For example, some our consumers perceive themselves as culturally or linguistically one of the following:

 

People who are...

  • Deaf
  • Hard of Hearing
  • Late Deafened
  • "Hearing Impaired"
  • Oral Deaf (non signing)
  • Children of Deaf Adults
  • Parent of Deaf Children
  • Signers and Non signers
  • Those with Cochlear Implants

 

 

We are here as a resource to help ensure that our consumers are educated and empowered to live independent lives! 

 

Please do not hesitate to contact us anytime for information.

The Independent Living Resource Center Staff and Board members represent people with various backgrounds and experiences in the Deaf/Hard of Hearing community. 

 

Our wide range of communication and language upbringing includes American Sign Language, Sign Exact English, gestural communication, Oral communication, and written as well as spoken English.  Please do not hesitate to contact any one of us with questions.
