Hello!
First, a visual description: I am a Black man, bald, wearing a gray suit, with a tie and pin.
Today is an important day for MCDHH. And for the communities we serve.
MCDHH is proud to share that the completed MCD10 Contract’s User Guide is ready to post. This Guide is fully accessible and includes ASL translations. It is the first of its kind. This work shows our commitment to access, equity, and respect.
Many people worked together to make this happen. It came to be out of respect for the Deaf, DeafBlind, late-deafened and Hard of Hearing communities. I am deeply grateful for this team’s creativity, care, and collaboration.
The MCD10 Accessible User Guide with ASL Translation reflects our values and our promise to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Here in Massachusetts, accessibility is not optional. It is our standard.
Please review the MCD10 User Guide and see the culmination of our hard work on our website.
Thank you for all you do.
