MISSION

The Deaf-Blind Service Center is committed to assisting deaf-blind people in reaching and maintaining their highest possible quality of life and degree of personal autonomy.

PHILOSOPHY

The Deaf-Blind Service Center believes communication is the core issue in providing quality services to deaf-blind people. Within DBSC, high quality communication with deaf-blind people is ensured in the following ways:

1. All information is provided in the desired communication mode of the person being served, whether that be Braille, close vision, or tactile communication.
2. Our staff possesses a complimentary set of language and communication skills, to meet the broadest possible spectrum of language and communication needs.
3. We obtain qualified interpreters for larger meetings or when the communication needs of the deaf-blind person cannot be met within DBSC's in-house resources.
4. We conduct all advocacy and case planning with the fullest possible participation of the deaf-blind individual.

DSBC believes in the importance of information to enable people to make educated choices. DBSC provides opportunities for deaf-blind people to receive the information they need, and to be informed about the variety of possible options.
