In these troubling economic times, many states are struggling to contain costs and are looking at cutting the funding to schools for the deaf.

The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) values schools for the deaf and cherishes their contributions to the education and development of deaf and hard of hearing children for nearly 200 years. The NAD supports the continuation and strengthening of these schools. We are alarmed by budget cuts affecting many schools for the deaf and the possible closure of some schools.
