Collage of Harry Maghakian
People Incorporated has led the way in providing culturally competent integrated mental health, medical, and independent living services to the deaf, hard-of-hearing, and deaf-blind communities. All of our services emphasize cultural accessibility, with the primary mode of communication being American Sign Language (ASL).

In addition to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, DSL may serve other individuals with disabilities who may benefit from the services provided.

From inpatient, drop-in, or in-home health services, we have a wide system of care, helping individuals dually find support within the deaf community and wherever they are in their mental health journey.

  • Adults 18 years of age or older who are deaf, hard of hearing, and deaf-blind.
  • Medical Assistance through the Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI) Waiver or Brain Injury (BI) Waiver.
