The Illinois Deaf and Hard of Hearing Commission is distributing a free pack of 5 clear face shields to anyone who is a resident of Illinois. The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) provided the face shields to IDHHC for distribution. IDHHC requested IEMA to assist with providing Illinois residents personal protective equipment which would help reduce communication barriers this COVID-19 pandemic.
This opportunity is not limited to Deaf, DeafBlind or Hard of Hearing individuals but also teachers, students, parents, sign language interpreters or anyone that is an Illinois resident. Registration for the free clear face shields will be available on IDHHC’s website by next week. Per IDHHC request, we are helping them spread the word. Stay tuned for more information.
