First of Its Kind 

When clients come to the DRS, one of the first things they receive is the "Your Rights and Responsibilities" handbook. This is a valuable document that will assist them through out their services. We have always provided this in the accessible formats such as large print or braille for our clients who are blind. Now we proudly announce that we have it in American Sign Language (ASL) for our clients who are Deaf.

The 35 minute video with no audio is available to those who's first language is ASL, allowing for better understanding of the services they are about to receive.

Other state vocational rehabilitation programs across the nation have express an interest in seeing DRS' due to the fact we are first state to produce a handbook in ASL.

Clients who are deaf can watch the video from a DVD given to them at the time they apply for services or they can watch it in parts on DRS's website.
