CDDHHDB - CDHS

We connect people with support and resources. Senate Bill 00-194 created the commission in July 2000. The purpose was to address the needs of the deaf, hard of hearing, and deafblind communities.

We provide interpretation for our publications. This includes:
- The Navigator Newsletter
- The EHDItion Newsletter
- Other publications by need and request

Our staff manages daily operations under the director. Certified state employees serve as subject matter experts in their roles. A seven-member commission appointed by the governor advises staff on actions quarterly. Commissioners serve terms of four years each.

The commission supports effective communication for everyone. We envision a barrier-free Colorado.
