Deaf Residential Supports
WCI’s Deaf Residential Supports Division provides and focuses on individuals with intellectual disabilities who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or Deaf Blind.
In this division, Deaf staff or hearing staff with ASL skills are hired to support the communication needs of the individuals. Through current technology, WCI helps to support people’s independence with video phones, flashing lights, and vibrating alarms. All staff and individuals are educated in Deaf Culture and our interpreters are contracted through the Mass. Commission for Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Support is individualized and includes personal care, social skills, nutrition, meal preparation, shopping, money management, safety, and more.
