    Good Morning,

    I am working on a project funded by the New York State Office of Victim Services to enhance access to civil legal services for victims of crime. We have developed the following online resource: NY Crime Victims Legal Help . The resource was developed with attention to victims of different types of crimes and with the understanding that crime victims cut across all races, ethnicities, ages, income levels etc. With our current funding, we would like to enhance the website to ensure that it is responsive to the civil legal needs of those who are deaf/heard of hearing. This may mean presenting the information differently, including specific resources, adding additional content etc. We would like to learn directly from members of this population about how this resource can be most responsive to their needs.

    Would you be willing to help connect me with individuals in the deaf/hard of hearing community who may be willing to speak with me? I greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

    Thank you,
    Susan
