Communication Service for the Deaf

About

At Communication Service for the Deaf (CSD), we're passionate about building connections and fostering an inclusive environment where Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals can thrive alongside hearing people. Since our founding in 1975 by Benjamin Soukup, we have been dedicated to empowering the Deaf community by breaking down communication barriers that hinder access and opportunities. We believe that effective communication is a fundamental human right, and we work tirelessly to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their hearing status, can engage fully in society. Our comprehensive services encompass various areas, including innovative communication technologies and career support. Our ASL Now platform is a testament to our commitment to making communication accessible and equitable for all. We also prioritize equity within our organizational culture, advocating for diversity and inclusion at every level. Through our outreach initiatives and partnerships, we strive to combat discrimination and elevate the voices of underrepresented communities. Our vision is to create opportunities that inspire positive change and support Deaf individuals in achieving their full potential in every aspect of life.
