Welcome to DeafClicks.com - On this site you'll find details of companies that welcome the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community.
DEAF AWARENESS ABILITY
We initially contact businesses in all walks of life and establish whether they would welcome Deaf and Hard of Hearing customers and would like to receive basic Deaf Awareness Business Training.
We have devised a STAR rating to denote the company's level of Deaf Awareness Business Ability.
Please
note this does not reflect on the quality of the company's service or
products but merely as a guide to their level of Deaf Awareness Education.
Some companies listed on our site may not have the necessary equipment
or expertise to deal effectively with a Deaf person, But they are making
a genuine attempt to try!
We hope that our STAR rating will
give you an idea as to what level of Deaf awareness you can expect to
find from our listed companies and we would ask you to use the 'comments
button' on each company as a way for us to monitor the service.
