This message is from Robert Cooper, Executive Director of the Kansas Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (KCDHH). I've included this because effective communication is required for all government services.? If you have questions, you can contact Robert at [email protected].??

Opportunity for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community and advocates to learn more and also possibly input with US Attorneys Office on June 6, 2023. Opening announcement reads as following:

The United States Attorney?s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia announced today that it has sent a Dear Colleagues Letter [ [link removed] ]?(attached below) reminding healthcare providers of the effective communication requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To strengthen awareness and understanding of these requirements, the U.S. Attorney?s Office is inviting the public, including personnel at healthcare providers, to an informational meeting [ [link removed] ] that will be held on June 6, 2023, at 1 p.m.

This webinar addressed the accessibility requirements for exterior routes and surfaces, including the differences between accessible routes for building sites, outdoor recreation areas, trails, and beaches. Additionally, Board Accessibility Specialists shared information on the concepts of stable, firm, and slip resistant surfaces in the outdoor environment, as well as reviewed playground surfaces.
