Welcome!

On behalf of the Rhode Island Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, I am proud to announce that RI CDHH has launched its cool website, known as a one-stop Deaf and Hard of Hearing Resources Center in Rhode Island. There are a lot of interesting and valuable resources, events, updates, and more related to deafness. This website is a convenient way to find information that will meet your needs instantly. We, the staff, will continue to improve and update the website so please check our website periodically to keep abreast of current information. If you want to send comments about this website, please contact us.

Have a fun cyber-journey here at our Web site!

Steven A. Florio
Executive Director

RICDHH's 7th Annual Coffee Hour went well without a hitch!

Richard Jaffe, Director of External Relations at Trinity Repertory Company, received the RICDHH 2008 Recognition Award for his diligent efforts to provide funding for open captioning, continued support for ASL interpreters for theater performances, and for the purchase of new assistive listening devices. His hard work will hopefully allow all of Rhode Island's Deaf and Hard of Hearing citizens to enjoy the theater.
