Branson Welcome Center for the Deaf Opens Today

A welcome center for the deaf is opening in downtown Branson today. Their headquarters will be two blocks away from the Branson entrance to the Taney County bridge.
The organization has been working hard over the past few months to encourage shows to enable deaf-friendly monitors. Business interests hope this will open up a market many Branson business haven't considered - or even heard about.

GREAT! This is exactly what the Deaf/Hearing Impaired community needs in Branson. The entertainment industry needs to realize that we(the deaf community) represent a very large number of people who will be visiting or vacationing in Branson, and would enjoy having those theaters made accessible to us, as well.
