The Massachusetts Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (MCDHH) is the Commonwealth’s principal agency representing the needs and interests of the approximately 1.4 million Massachusetts residents who are Deaf, hard of hearing, or late-deafened. With a staff of about 60 employees, MCDHH provides accessible communication, education, advocacy, and direct services that help people participate fully in their communities.

Its Communication Access Training and Technology (CATTS) team provides resources for Deaf, hard of hearing, and late-deafened residents, including communication access trainings for organizations. CATTS also distributes the Visor Card for interactions with law enforcement and the Emergency Services Card for first responders.

The Community Services Division helps individuals and families navigate state systems, communication access, and education planning, while partnering with community-based Deaf and Hard of Hearing Independent Living Services.

The Communication Access Division connects individuals and organizations with ASL interpreters and CART captioners. It also screens interpreters to help ensure quality and supports mentorship and workforce development to build the next generation of interpreters and captioners.

As part of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, MCDHH works with sister agencies to make programs and services more accessible, equitable, and inclusive. Many of its highly skilled staff are themselves Deaf, hard of hearing, late deafened, or deafblind—putting the principle “nothing about us, without us” into practice across Massachusetts.

MassAbility empowers people with disabilities to live life on their own terms. Their services and programs help people work, live, and thrive in their community. Career and job placement support, assistive technology, home modifications, and supported and independent living all make a difference in the lives of the people MassAbility serves.

One of those individuals is Sonia Bell, who found MassAbility while recovering from chondrosarcoma bone cancer. After multiple surgeries left her navigating new disabilities in a nursing home, Sonia wanted one thing: independence. She overheard a MassAbility staff member discussing their Waiver program and quickly connected with the agency.

Sonia worked hard with her case management and supports, and eventually moved into her own apartment. She enjoys the freedom and independence of being in her own apartment that is accessible for her needs and often spends time gardening on her balcony and working on her non-profit, Enduring Courage. Sonia is also an active member of MassAbility's Peer Support Program and regularly visits local nursing homes to encourage the use of Waiver services.

Since 2007, Sara Murphy has helped adolescents and their families navigate some of life's most difficult challenges as an Adolescent Social Worker with the Department of Children and Families (DCF). She works with families, schools, probation officers, and community providers to connect young people with services that can help keep families together and prevent adolescents from entering state custody.

Sara spends two days each week at the courthouse, where the strong relationships she's built with court staff help cases move more smoothly and collaboratively. While many of her cases involve truancy, mental health concerns, substance use, or family conflict, her goal remains the same: helping families find the support they need. She believes in strengthening family connections whenever possible, often encouraging relatives to become part of the support system.

Her supervisor, Jennifer Ly, says Sara "is a wonderful advocate for her clients and has an innate ability to form relationships with the most difficult clients." Those relationship-building skills have earned Sara the trust and respect of community providers and the courts alike, making her a valued resource for colleagues and families.

Outside of work, Sara stays busy coaching soccer for both of her daughters, who also play lacrosse. Whether at work or at home, she enjoys helping young people grow, encouraging them to work hard, overcome challenges, and build confidence along the way.

This month for the Executive Office of Health and Human Services' Employee Spotlight, we are pleased to feature Dottie Zakarian, a Service Coordinator for the Department of Developmental Services’ Southeast Region, serving Cape Cod and the Islands. Dottie has been in her role for nearly 10 years and brings a unique background to her work, having previously served as an assistant vice president at a bank before returning to school. She earned her MBA and later a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, beginning a new path focused on supporting others.

Dottie works closely with individuals with developmental disabilities, supporting a diverse group of about 65 clients across a variety of living situations, including group homes, shared living, and independent settings. She collaborates with guardians, service providers, and individuals themselves to ensure each person’s needs are met—from helping them access preferred day programs to making sure they are safe, comfortable, and supported in their homes. Her work often includes site visits, coordinating services, and addressing challenges as they arise.

What Dottie enjoys most is the variety and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference. “I just listen; sometimes people need to be heard,” she shared, reflecting her thoughtful and compassionate approach. She takes pride in helping individuals participate in activities they enjoy and in seeing them engaged in their communities. While transitions—such as moving a client to a new living situation—can be complex, she values the impact of helping people find the right fit for their needs.

Despite the important role she plays, Dottie remains humble about her work. “Everyone here works hard and really connects with the people,” she said. A Cape Cod resident for 40 years, she enjoys spending time at home with her two Shih Tzus—one older and one “little terror” who is just a year old.

We support this work by valuing fairness, transparency, racial equity, and integrity.

DYS operates and contracts for residential and community-based programs to support youth in its care and custody. These programs meet diverse needs by improving youth access to education, recreation, health, and behavioral supports. DYS’ residential and community-based services have contributed to better school attendance and improved emotional well-being. Over the past year, DYS has enhanced trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices, leading to increased youth engagement. The agency expanded workforce-readiness initiatives, resulting in higher job placement rates. It also increased its emphasis on reentry planning, supporting more successful transitions.

DYS partners with other youth-serving agencies, contracted providers, community organizations, schools, and employers to connect young people to essential resources. Through these partnerships, young people access education, career pathways, vocational training, mentoring, case management, and positive youth development, increasing rates of school completion, job placement, and successful reentry into their families and communities. These outcomes support long-term success.

By investing in young people’s potential, DYS builds safer and healthier communities across Massachusetts. Learn about DYS programs at mass.gov/dys
