Employment Services
for the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Late Deafened A
wide range of services for the Deaf, hard of hearing, and late-deafened are
available from the Vermont Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR).
These services are unique because the State Coordinator and all of the
Rehabilitation Counselors for the Deaf (RCD's) are experienced sign language
users and have extensive knowledge of Deaf culture and hearing loss in
general. This enables them to assist individuals to accomplish their
individual career goals. They work with Deaf, hard of hearing, and
late-deafened individuals.
Services may include provision of technical assistance
in different settings, i.e., accommodations at work and home, adaptive
equipment, technical assistance around the Americans with Disabilities Act,
information about deaf and hard of hearing clubs, associations, and support
groups, in addition to employment services.
Employment services for the Deaf, hard of hearing, and late deafened may
