Partners and Advocacy
These organizations provide partnership, advocacy and resources to empower individuals who are Deaf, DeafBlind or Hard of Hearing. Support include educating hearing individuals about deaf culture, language, and communication needs, as well as lobbying for policy changes and legislation that address the specific needs of the deaf community.
​
Partnership and advocacy are critical components in creating a more inclusive and accessible society for individuals who are Deaf, DeafBlind or Hard of Hearing. They require ongoing commitment and effort from both the deaf community and their allies to achieve meaningful progress.
