Our primary goal is to ensure accessibility for the Deaf community. ‘BHIS’ offers opportunities to:
- Consult with us to assure equal access to the goods and services

ADVOCACY SUPPORT
Our advocacy support program makes sure you know the legal rights of deaf, hard of hearing or deaf/blind persons. According to the National Association of the Deaf, “Individuals with disabilities, including deaf or hard of hearing individuals, are frequently subject to injustice.”
If you or a family member have been denied interpreting services, need assistance securing services related to your child’s education, or just aren’t sure how to access services for your deaf, hard of hearing or deaf/blind family member, friend, etc., we can help.
SUPPORTIVE SERVICES
The DAD Foundation’s supportive services program empowers clients to live productive lives regardless of hearing loss. We assist with education, basic life skills training, case management services, employment support and other opportunities.
