Deaf Resources
Donate, Get Involve, Learn
If you want to get more involved with Deaf Culture, learning ASL, or needing a refresher but don't know where to start, I have complied some links, some resources and some places you can donate to if you just want to help. You can always look up your own local Deaf centers near you.
Just a note, I am not getting paid for this, I am getting no extra anything for sharing some of my favorite Deaf Recourses.
National Association of the Deaf
The National Association of the Deaf is an organization for the promotion of the rights of deaf people in the United States. NAD was founded in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1880 as a non-profit organization run by Deaf people to advocate for deaf rights, its first president being Robert P. McGregor of Ohio.
National Deaf Center
We are a technical assistance and dissemination center funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). Project Officer: Dr. Louise Tripoli.

LifePrint
ASLU has been offering online sign language instruction since 1997. The program began as an effort to support parents of Deaf children living in rural or "outlying" areas without access to sign language classes.
You are welcome to self-study from the various publicly available Lifeprint.com lessons for free.
