What is Regional Specialist?

Grant discussed about Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services (DHHS - It used to be called TCDHH) under Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) - they have several programs such as STAP, Interpreter Certification (BEI), referral program, much more! Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program also work closely with DHHS.

And of course, Regional Specialist program (RS) is one of the newest concepts that I know of. They successfully launched RS program more than five years ago with one specialist and it grew over 18 specialists (click here to view list or map) all over Texas today.

The reason he bring it up because he discovered that many people never knew RS have been around for some time now. Unfortunately. If you find any information that I may not explain clearly or old information, please leave me the comment.

Again, this is for State of Texas residents only but if you know anybody that live here, please do let them know. Thanks so much!

Note: This is unofficial information - Grant did his best to explain how this program works and he doesn't work for DARS/DHHS/DRS.
