Communication Access is the most common challenge people who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing or Speech Impaired face in accessing services. Nevada Care Connection is committed to not only help you to become your own self-advocate, but also help educate others to be more Deaf friendly. This page is dedicated to providing information and assistance to people who are newly deaf, experiencing hearing loss, or just new to Nevada.
