Association of Late Deafened Adults (www.alda.org)
The mission of ALDA is to support the empowerment of deafened people. We do this through Education, Advocacy, Role Models and Support (EARS)
ALDA is committed to providing a support network and a sense of belonging to late deafened people, sharing our unique experiences, challenges
and coping strategies, helping one another find practical solutions and psychological relief, and working together with other organizations
and service providers for our common good. Late Deafened Adults are people who have lost there hearing in any degree after having acquired
spoken language. ALDA members may or may not use hearing aids, may or may not use assistive listening devices, may or may not use cochlear
implants and may or may not use sign language. What ALDA members DO is ‘whatever works’. This is the philosophy that keeps
the doors to ALDA wide open to anyone who is interested.
ALDA Puget
Sound supports late deafened adults throughout the Greater Puget Sound area. Meetings are presented with Real Time Captioning on the 1st Saturday
of each month from 1:30pm-3:30pm. Locations vary. For Information contact: Christine Seymour, aldachristine@comcast.net
