We will add the H3943 Language Readiness bill to our discussion. This is an Act ensuring language readiness in deaf, deafblind, and hard-of-hearing children entering kindergarten.

We also will share updates from MSAD board and address community’s concerns about equitable services among 11 agencies under EOHHS (Executive Office of Health and Human Services) i.e. OEA, MRC, DDS, DMH, ORI, MCB, DCF, DPH, MCDHH, DYS, and DTA. We also will open up any comments, thoughts, and concerns from the community. The chat is yours! Come and join us if you can. SC
