TALLAHASSEE – The Legal Systems Accessibility Task Force of the Florida Coordinating Council for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing will hold a general meeting on Friday, September 18, 2009, from 10:00 pm to 3:45 pm, EDT. The general subject of the meeting is accessibility in the legal/law enforcement/court arenas in Florida for persons who are deaf, hard of hearing, late-deafened and deaf-blind.
The meeting is open to the public and all interested parties are invited to attend. However, due to time constraints and that fact that this is a focus work group meeting, there will not be a public hearing and there may be limited public participation.
Nearly 3 million Florida residents are deaf, hard of hearing, late-deafened or deaf-blind, making people with hearing loss the largest disability group in the state of Florida. Florida has the second largest population of people who are deaf or hard of hearing in the nation.
The meeting will be accessible via toll-free teleconference line and streaming CART. Two certified ASL interpreters will be at the meeting. If additional accommodations are needed, please contact the person listed below.
