Commission of deaf, deafblind, and Hard of hearing Minnesotans
For 25 years the Commission of Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing Minnesotans (MCDHH) has worked with community advocates and legislators to create some of the strongest public policies and programs in the United States for children and adults who are deaf, hard of hearing and deafblind. Our founders hoped that MCDHH would be able to do what no single organization or individual had been able to accomplish. They crafted legislation that designated MCDHH “as the principal agency of the state to advocate on behalf of Minnesotans who are deaf, deafblind, and hard-of-hearing by working to ensure those persons have equal access to the services, programs, and opportunities available to others.”
