What is ALDA?
-
ALDA was formed in Chicago, Illinois
in 1987. Most of those that gathered there were total strangers who had
never met or talked to another deafened person, yet they found themselves
wonderfully comfortable with one another. There was an unspoken feeling
of understanding and patience with each other's communication difficulties.
The marvelous sense of fellowship lasted and led to more social gatherings
and self help support groups, which swiftly evolved into the Association
of Late Deafened Adults (ALDA). Today, ALDA's membership is international
in scope. ALDA works collaboratively with other organizations around the
world serving the needs of late-deafened people and extends a welcome to
everyone, late deafened or not, who supports our goals.
