Service Delivery for the Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing
The Department of Children and Families (DCF) is committed to improving the delivery of services to Floridians who are deaf or hard of hearing. It is essential that the Department eliminate or reduce barriers these clients experience when seeking services through our programs.
To reach this goal, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and DCF have entered into an agreement to ensure that auxiliary aids and services are provided for these clients or their companions. This website has been designed to provide DCF staff as well as the Department’s contracted service providers with resources enabling them to meet our goal to eliminate or reduce barriers, thus ensuring effective communication with deaf or hard of hearing clients and companions as outline in the agreement. Questions regarding any information contained on this website should be directed to the DCF Office of Civil Rights, 1317 Winewood Blvd., Building 1 Room 110, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0700. Staff may also call the DCF Office of Civil Rights at (850) 487-1901 or the Region Civil Rights Officer.
