It is pretty cool how many deaf organizations exist. There are a lot of organizations that help support the deaf in multiple ways.
The National Association of the Deaf: An organization that deals with civil rights of deaf and hard-of-hearing people.
Deaflympics: This is pretty self-explanatory, but these are international Olympic games for the deaf. Deaflympics is recognized by the International Olympic Committee.
ADARA: “Professionals Networking for Excellence in Service Delivery with Individuals Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.” ADARA allows people who work with the deaf to come together and exchange ideas to enhance the quality of life of the deaf.
American Association of the Deaf-Blind: A nonprofit national consumer organization that has deaf and blind members and also family members, professionals, interpreters, and other interested people. They provide information, services, conferences, advocacy projects, and much more.
There are many, many more, but this is just a few examples of national and international organizations that want to do what they can to help those who are deaf or hard of hearing.
