American Society for Deaf Children

The American Society for Deaf Children (ASDC) is committed to empowering all families with deaf* and hard-of-hearing children and youth by embracing full language and communication access in inclusive environments through mentoring, advocacy, resources, and collaborative networks.

• ASDC uses the term deaf to be inclusive of various hearing levels and identities within the deaf community.

Language Accessibility Matters.

Language allows us to learn, build relationships, and succeed.

To create connections.

Our aim is to keep children tied to the lifelong learning path, no matter what, till they reach their educational objectives, and beyond.

We believe Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing children & youth are entitled to full communication access and that those communication opportunities for Deaf children should be based on facts and needs.

It starts from day one.

It takes collaborative, informed, and committed teamwork to create successful learning experiences for our children that ensure that all plans and programs meet the needs of each one of them, individually and uniquely.

At ASDC, we are committed to leading the way to creating accessible language for all.
