The Louisiana Commission for the Deaf (LCD)

The Louisiana Commission for the Deaf (LCD) provides people who are d/Deaf, DeafBlind, and hard of hearing with programs, services, and resources to ensure full communication access to the world around them. Staff work closely with members of the d/Deaf, DeafBlind, and hard of hearing communities to continuously improve programs and services to meet their needs.

Mission, Vision, and Values

In 2021, LCD developed its new Mission, Vision, and Values through a stakeholder-driven, six-month process that is integral to an organization.

Video Description: [The video opens with a solid gray background and "Louisiana Commission for the Deaf" in all caps and thick white font. The Louisiana Department of Health logo appears below. A Black male with curly black hair and facial hair appears on screen, and he is wearing a white button-up top in front of the same gray background. He is using American Sign Language. Various words appear on the screen that he repeats in ASL. At the end of the video, a website link is shown in large white font with a blue background: www.ldh.la.gov/lcd. The Blue 20 animated logo appears on the screen and fades to black. End of video.]
