National Asian Deaf Congress

NADC advocates and provides a network of resources on political, social, human rights and other concerns of the Asian Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.

OUR HISTORY: The seeds of NADC were planted during the first national conference, “Access Silent Asia” for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Asian people and their families in San Francisco, California in 1994. After several years of discussion and planning, NADC was formally implemented in March 1997, during the second conference, “Let’s Break Down the Walls of Silence” in Los Angeles, California. The collaborative efforts of individuals and organizations for Deaf people led to widespread interest in forming a national organization to recognize and preserve Asian Deaf cultural heritage, identity, and history.
