At ASDC, we bring families together through American Sign Language (ASL) and we are here to support YOU.
The American Society for Deaf Children provides resources, advocacy, and mentoring for every family with a deaf child so they can communicate, connect, and thrive – together.
Did you know that more than 85% of deaf children are born to hearing parents? Your membership/donation ensures that parents get immediate access to the resources they need to:
learn American Sign Language (ASL)
to provide a language-rich environment for their child
connect with members of the Deaf community
to provide a strong social support network and language models for their child
effectively advocate for their child’s educational rights to get the best possible outcomes for their child from the very beginning
