The Indiana Association of the Deaf was founded in 1886 by Deaf people who were concerned that Deaf people were not included in the decision and policy making processes affecting their lives. Today, the IAD is a dynamic and growing organization with organizational affiliates, and direct members. The IAD serves as an advocate for more than 400,000 Deaf and Hard of Hearing Hoosiers.
Indiana Association of the Deaf is a membership-based non-profit, 501(c)3 advocacy organization serving the Deaf and hard of hearing community in the great state of Indiana. We have been doing this for almost 125 years.
Indiana Association of the Deaf’s mission
… is to ensure that a comprehensive, coordinated system and services is accessible to Hoosiers who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing enabling them to achieve their maximum potential through increased independence, productivity and integration.
