As outlined in Bill S-66 and Act 107 of 2016 established the Vermont Deaf, Hard of Hearing and DeafBlind (D/HH/DB) Advisory Council. The council is mandated to submit an annual report to the Legislature and Governor’s Office, providing updates and recommendations.

At DAIL we strive to reframe how we think and talk about the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafPlus, DeafDisabled and late deafened population. Using appropriate hearing terminologies is an important step in understanding the identities and needs of those we serve. A guide on how people may or may not identify themselves, as well as a brief understanding of how sound can be perceived, can be found in DAIL’s Hearing Terminologies document on our website.
