Communication Cards
KCDHH offers three different cards which can help deaf and hard of hearing individuals communicate with hearing people in society. These cards include the Visor Communication card, the ICE (In Case of Emergency) card, and the Communication card.
NOTE: We also have the Hospital Communication Kit to assist with communication in hospitals or other medical settings.

talks about the Visor Card Program at KCDHH.
This card is one you carry with you in your vehicle, tucked underneath the driver’s side sun visor. You use it when a law enforcement officer pulls you over. It has a variety of symbols on it that will, in the absence of an ASL interpreter, help facilitate communication between you and the officer.
The card comes in three varieties to suit your needs: deaf, oral deaf and hard of hearing.

In the video above, Travis Zornoza explains what the
ICE card is, and how it may be useful to you.
The ICE, or “In Case of Emergency,” card is something you don’t want to be without. If you are in an accident or involved in any other kind of emergency, first responders (emergency medical technicians, police officers or firefighters) may ask you or look for this card on you. It will help them communicate with you until appropriate accommodations can arrive on the scene.
