WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
Greetings!
Hello and thank you for visiting our website! The Florida Coordinating Council for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (FCCDHH) was created by legislative statute in 2004 and we are now entering our fourth year of service to the estimated 3 million residents of Florida who are deaf, hard of hearing, late-deafened, or deaf/blind.
The FCCDHH is comprised of 17 dedicated individuals representing organizations and agencies committed to serving the needs of Floridians with hearing loss.
We are reorganizing, updating and improving this website in order to serve you better. We want you to find the information you need quickly and we want it to be relevant to the issue that concerns you or your family members. If you have searched our website and still have unanswered questions, please contact us immediately or call Mary Grace in our Tallahassee office-toll free- at 866-602-3275.
The FCCDHH Council strives to be the primary resource for persons seeking assistance with hearing loss issues in Florida. We welcome and encourage your suggestions or comments about the website.
Sincerely, Joan Haber
Chair of the Florida Coordinating Council for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
