We must work together as a unit to share ideas and programs to assist the three million Florida residents who are deaf or hard of hearing. Our agencies are spread across the entire state of Florida to better serve Florida’s deaf and hard of hearing community.

We invite anyone or any organization to inquiry about our Association and its membership. -Jeff Thomas |
