The Louisiana Commission for the Deaf (LCD)
The Louisiana Commission for the Deaf (LCD) provides people who are D/deaf, DeafBlind, hard of hearing, and those with speech disorders with programs and services to help them access and navigate the world around them. Staff work closely with members of the D/deaf and DeafBlind communities to continuously improve the program and meet their needs. LCD's goals are to allow everyone to communicate fully - regardless of their hearing, vision or speech-related abilities, improve access to needed communication supports, and to enable all people to participate in society and reach their full potential.
We currently offer services in 4 areas:
- Telecommunications Equipment Program
- Hearing Aid Program
- Interpreting Services
- Support Service Provider Services
All services have eligibility requirements that need to be met in order to use them. You can apply for and access services through your local Regional Service Center (RSC). All services and equipment follow requirements set by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Learn more about these services and their eligibility requirements using the links under "Learn More."
