Resource Guide Appendix: OTHER GUIDES TO DEAF RESOURCES

Last Updated; June 6, 2008

Gallaudet University's Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center maintains an extensive set of directories of international, national and state resources on deafness. The following directories of various deafness-related resources are all maintained by the Clerc Center and each link leads to a page on the Clerc Center website:

Directory of National Organizations of and for Deaf and Hard of Hearing People

This directory was developed with information provided by each organization. All of the organizations are national and nonprofit and provide information on deaf and hard of hearing people and/or specific professional or consumer areas of interest.

Statewide Services for People Who Are Deaf and Hard of Hearing

This list identifies two different types of statewide services:
(1) commissions or state offices mandated to serve people who are deaf and hard of hearing, and
(2) state coordinators of rehabilitation services for people who are deaf.
