Our service coordinators:
Complete assessments with Deaf community members
Provide immediate services where appropriate
- Develop service plans
- Work with 'mainstream' providers so they become more 'Deaf friendly'
- Match community members with providers who match their needs
- Advocate for and support Deaf people
- Help people access specialist equipment
Please contact your local Deaf Aotearoa office if you would like to meet with one of our service coordinators.
Our Service co-ordinators meet Deaf and hearing impaired Senior Citizens in most Deaf Aotearoa offices in New Zealand. Different information is being provided to Senior Citizens for example:
What Deaf Aotearoa can provide for our Deaf senior citizens members
What is available out-there for them i.e. for everyday's life (retirement plans, financial assistance, recreational outings and activities, etc)
In bigger cities, there are regular gatherings for Deaf Senior Citizens at the Auckland Deaf Society (in Balmoral) and Canterbury Deaf Society (in Christchurch city). For the further details of gathering dates, times and physical address, contact the Deaf Societies or your local CRO.
