August 26, 2005. (Stewartstown, PA) Since the successful release last month of a visor card designed specifically for hard of hearing people, deaf people have clamored for a similar card designed specifically to meet their unique communication needs. Today, the Center for Hearing Loss Help released the deaf version of their visor card for those whose communication preference is American Sign Language (ASL) rather than spoken English.
Used correctly, visor cards can effectively help bridge the communications gap whenever hard of hearing or deaf people are stopped by the police, especially at night.
