Information
about the ALDA annual convention
ALDA was formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1987. Most of those that
gathered there were total strangers who had never met or talked to
another deafened person, yet they found themselves wonderfully
comfortable with one another. There was an unspoken feeling of
understanding and patience with each other's communication difficulties.
The marvelous sense of fellowship lasted and led to more social
gatherings and self help support groups, which swiftly evolved into the
Association of Late Deafened Adults (ALDA). Today, ALDA's membership is
international in scope. ALDA works collaboratively with other
organizations around the world serving the needs of late deafened people
and extends a welcome to everyone, late deafened or not, who supports
our goals.
