Introduction

This language access plan contains Cincinnati Children’s expectations for working with people who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or use a language other than English. It describes what we are able to do today. There are many opportunities for improvement, but we must start with what is possible today. By doing what is described in this plan, we can pursue our potential so all kids can pursue theirs, even when someone in their family uses a language other than English.

Additionally, because communication is critical to providing safe care, so is language access.

This language access plan is also available as a PDF.
