Kansas Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (KCDHH) provides the following direct services:

• Interpreter referral and coordination: KCDHH helps state agencies, hospitals, law enforcement organizations, court and business locate professional interpreters.
• Kansas Quality Assurance Screening (KQAS): KCDHH administers both the written and performance portions of the KQAS, which is a certification system for determining skill levels of interpreters. The purpose is to help assure quality services and standards of professionalism among sign language interpreters.
• Safety Communication Visor: A vehicle visor, available through KCDHH, helps law enforcement and emergency response officials quickly identify drivers who may be deaf or hard of hearing. The Visor indicates that special communication techniques may be needed. For more information, see the Safety Communication Visor page.
