Dr. Jessica Williams Advocates for Improved Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Competency in Psychiatric Practice

Dr. Jessica Williams, a psychiatrist from the Department of Psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the Deaf Services Clinic at BJC Behavioral Health, co-authored a Viewpoint in JAMA Psychiatry emphasizing the need to treat care for Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHoH) patients as a clinical competency. The Viewpoint, also co-authored by Laura Shapiro, MSW, LCSW, and Kristina H.

They differentiate between Deaf sign language users, who often identify as a linguistic minority, and hard-of-hearing individuals who primarily use speech, both fac...
