Description: ODHH ensures that community members are able to have full and equitable access to public services. ODHH provides the community with the information, skills and tools needed to achieve effective communication access. ODHH promotes independence, breaks down communication barriers, enhances access and provides opportunities to this very small, marginalized and underserved community. Since 1979, ODHH has expanded to include these services: interpreter contracts, information and resources, assistive communication technology, telecommunication relay services, telecommunication equipment distribution, trainings and presentations for community members, social and health services (including seven regional service centers), and communication access modalities and education trainings for service providers.
