DEAF, Inc. inspires people to achieve personal and professional goals through accessible programs and services. We build bridges across communities by increasing communication access and awareness.
Founded in 1977, DEAF, Inc. is the only Massachusetts community-based, multi-service nonprofit run by and for Deaf (Deaf, DeafBlind, Hard of Hearing, and Late-Deafened) adults. DEAF, Inc. is founded on the principle of self-determination and the rights of Deaf people to identify their own goals and follow through on achieving them, taking increasingly independent charge of their lives.
DEAF, Inc. is one of the largest private employers of Deaf, DeafBlind, Hard of Hearing, and Late-Deafened people in Massachusetts. A peer-based organization, DEAF, Inc. is committed to hiring staff that reflects the community we serve.
Approximately 92% of staff is Deaf, DeafBlind, Hard of Hearing, or Late-Deafened, including our Executive Director, Director of Finance and Administration, and our program directors.
All direct-service staff members are proficient in various communication methods so they can communicate directly with the people we serve, to assess their needs and goals, and work with them to identify services to achieve these goals.

Slow-pace would be most appropriate for students who are new to ASL and would benefit from activities that would provide an opportunity for practice and repetition. Fast-pace classes are most appropriate for students with a general knowledge of ASL and would prefer an accelerated learning style. By offering these two different tracks, our hope is that you will find the pace that will be the right fit for you!
