About NAD
The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) was established in 1880 by
deaf leaders who believed in the right of the American deaf community
to use sign language, to congregate on issues important to them, and
to have its interests represented at the national level. These beliefs
remain true to this day, with American Sign Language as a core value.
As a nonprofit federation, the mission of the NAD is to preserve,
protect, and promote the civil, human, and linguistic rights of deaf
and hard of hearing Americans. The advocacy scope of the NAD is broad,
covering the breadth of a lifetime and impacting future generations in
the areas of early intervention, education, employment, health care,
technology, telecommunications, youth leadership, and more. For more
