The Office of Deaf Access (ODA) develops, enforces, and monitors policies derived from federal civil rights laws to ensure equal access to employment and public assistance. The ODA provides administrative supervision for services that enable Deaf and Hard‑of‑Hearing (DHH) persons to achieve social and economic independence, overcome communication barriers, and participate fully in society.

Key responsibilities include developing and administering requests for proposals, contracts, and grants; providing technical assistance on fiscal management, staffing, and service delivery; conducting on‑site visits, reviewing invoices and quarterly reports, evaluating program performance, and drafting corrective actions or recommendations. The Analyst II acts as a subject‑matter expert to other government agencies, community organizations, and the public, representing ODA at community events, promoting awareness of DHH issues, and ensuring ASL proficiency in communications.

Additional duties involve responding to legislative inquiries, developing public education materials, maintaining directories of DHH resources, analyzing legislation affecting DHH communities, preparing testimony and budget materials, and supporting policy and program development.
