Massachusetts Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing - MCDHH

For #DeafAwarenessMonth and #InternationalWeekOfTheDeaf, we presented "On The Road With MCDHH," a film which shows #MCDHH services from a first-day staff member perspective. Thank you to our Deaf and hard of hearing colleagues and our communities, for whom we are endlessly grateful. You may now view our new film below! #OnTheRoadWithMCDHH WATCH: https://lnkd.in/eWNqY8TQ

We are proud to announce that the Massachusetts Municipal Police Training Committee has officially made #MCDHH’s course, “Communication Access Training for Law Enforcement Officers” a mandatory part of their FY 2025 curriculum. As a result of this collaboration between #MCDHH and #MPTC, 24,000 municipal officers across Massachusetts will receive training which explores and improves how police interact with Deaf, hard of hearing, late-deafened, and deafblind individuals. Thank you to our friends at MPTC, who have been instrumental in helping #MCDHH’s CATTS team to expand the contents and reach of this curriculum!
