Explanation
(This amendment provides increased funding for mental health services for persons who are deaf, deaf and blind, and hard of hearing. Funding will be used to (1) hire a full-time state coordinator to focus and coordinate existing systems for persons who are deaf, blind and deaf, and hard of hearing; (2) expand existing specialized services that are community-based and facility-based; (3) increase accessibility to a wider spectrum of services through training of staff in the communication and service needs of persons who are deaf, deaf and blind, or hard of hearing; and (4) develop new specialized services to address the unmet needs of persons with these disabilities.)
