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 include:
