Did you know that between 70,000 to 125,000 Vermonters have hearing loss? Just as those without hearing loss have their own preferences for receiving information and expressing themselves, so do those with hearing loss. Not everyone knows American Sign Language, uses captioning services, or assistive technology. But we can help! There are many available avenues to enhance the quality of experience for your visitors, volunteers, board, staff, and artists to participate in your artistic and cultural programming.
The Vermont Arts Council, in partnership with the Vermont Department of Disabilities, Aging & Independent Living, Hearing Loss Association of America, Vermont Chapter, and the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing have partnered to help Vermont’s cultural and community facilities assist those with hearing loss. Our goal is to better understand the current equipment, training, funding, and promotional needs so that we may explore future resources for providing more welcoming and inclusive facilities and events.
Your input is extremely important to helping Vermonters with hearing loss. Responses are completely anonymous. However, if you’d like to learn about future opportunities, training, and funding, there is an option to add your contact information at the end of the survey.
Please complete this brief anonymous survey by Dec. 20, 2022.
