Deaf Uses Visor & Wallet Cards, May 3

A partnership between the Oregon Association for the Deaf (OAD), the Public Safety Subcommittee of the Oregon Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services Advisory Committee (ODHHS), and the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) resulted in the creation of visor and wallet cards to serve as a tool to assist with communications between individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing and law enforcement officers. The cards are being distributed by the Oregon Association for the Deaf, and their local and regional partners; the Oregon Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services Program; local law enforcement agencies; and other organizations that work with deaf and hard of hearing Oregonians.
