It is the policy of the Virginia Board for People with Disabilities (VBPD) to ensure that all persons participating in Board sponsored activities have access to and receive interpretation services that meet their personal needs including the need for sign language interpreter services, and oral and written translation that are appropriate for their specific language needs.
To achieve compliance with the Board’s Language and Disability Access Policy (Adopted June 3, 2025), the VBPD follows the Board approved Language and Disability Access Plan outlined within this policy.
The Board’s Language and Disability Access Plan ensures free, meaningful access to information and Board sponsored programs and activities for people with disabilities and people who have limited English proficiency (LEP).
The Board will make every effort, as is financially possible within the agency budget, to ensure individuals have free, meaningful access to information produced by the Board and to Board sponsored activities or events. These efforts for meaningful access include the arrangement and provision of accommodations such as interpreters, captioning and other auxiliary aids. Additionally, all documents provided to the public by the Board will meet a series of standards as applicable.
