JOB STATISTICS AND DEAF AMERICANS
The NAD’s National Employment Resource Center
Only 54% of Deaf Americans have a job. Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, Hard of Hearing, and Late-Deafened people should be accommodated in their workplaces!
LANGUAGE DEPRIVE
About
Research shows 70% of Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, and Hard of Hearing children don’t have access to language. And it’s actually worse for Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color (BIPOC) deaf children. Language deprivation is a devastating reality for many deaf children, and the NAD strongly believes this is a serious and urgent health crisis. See video for more information!
