Mission Statement
The Deaf-Blind Service Center (DBSC) is committed to assisting deaf-blind people in reaching and maintaining their highest possible quality of life and degree of personal autonomy.
About This Cause
Established in 1986, DBSC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization located in the heart of Seattle’s Central District. Through your support, DBSC strives to increase the independence of deaf-blind individuals by supporting their ability to perform daily life tasks, bring down communication barriers, and enhance self-confidence. We believe communication is one of the core barriers deaf-blind people face in obtaining quality services. We provide opportunities for deaf-blind people to receive the information they need in order to understand their available options and make educated decisions. At DBSC, high-quality communication is ensured in the following ways: ◾All information is provided in the desired communication mode of the person being served – whether that be Braille, close vision, or tactile sign language. ◾Our staff possesses the complimentary set of language and communication skills to meet the broadest possible spectrum of language and communication needs. ◾We obtain qualified interpreters for large meetings or when the communication needs of the deaf-blind person cannot be met using DBSC’s in-house resources. ◾We conduct all advocacy and case planning with the fullest possible participation of the deaf-blind individual.
