Many times people with hearing disabilities need to ask for an accommodation for effective communication in health care. Here, you can create such a card to use in these times, or in an emergency, to show people and explain the accommodation you prefer for effective communication. You can use the form below to create this emergency card.
Select the appropriate values from the lists. It will create a personalized emergency message to outline what you need. When finished, click on the “Create Card” button below to create your own emergency card. Print the card and keep it with your other identification cards so that it is easy for you to get to when you need it.
If you are a health care provider, please ask health consumers how they prefer to communicate with you. Become aware of this card and even share this information with others at work.
