ASDC strongly supports mental health care, especially for children, youth, teens, and young adults in the Deaf community. 

Each month we join with Signed by Stories for live, online conversations about the challenges our D/HH youth face in maintaining mental health wellness.  These free conversations will feature Deaf/HH persons who have valuable experiences and perspectives about their mental health journey. Conversations may include professionals, parents, and friends and families who have lent supported along the way.

Follow our social media channels or check out

The 2023 Foundations of Literacy Conference is being designed around the ideas of research, education, engagement, and empowerment. We believe that helping kids develop lifelong skills early in life allows them to grow and expand into new experiences while in a safe environment that supports with guided playing exposure, is the best way for them to learn.
