Access to Drive-through COVID-19 Testing Sites
A transportation service to take people with disabilities needing transportation to COVID-19 testing sites has been announced today. It is a partnership between the Department for Aging and Independent Living and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. This service will take participants to and from a scheduled COVID testing appointment.

Please allow me to introduce Matthew and Jason Nejat, brothers from Long Island who both have a bilateral hearing loss and have created the Virtual Hearing Helpers Program. They are offering help by connecting with hearing impaired students that are struggling by providing free, one-on-one, virtual sessions in which they provide homework help and tutoring in all core classes for grades 4-9.

Thanks to the Governor’s consistent use of interpreting services, the deaf and hard of hearing community has had equal access to COVID-19 updates and news. As a result, this has placed a spotlight on the interpreting process, which in turn has highlighted the need for equal access for the deaf and hard of hearing community and allowed KCDHH to advocate and educate a much broader audience. Since so many of our constituents have requested that we post the recent interviews with Virginia Moore, which have highlighted that need for access, we have posted them here for your convenience.
