Mission

Maryland Association of the Deaf (MDAD) originally established in 1892, as the Maryland School for the Deaf Alumni Association, MDAD was reformed in 1956 by a group of concerned citizens who met at the Baltimore Silent Oriole Club.

MDAD’s mission is to safeguard, maintain and advance the civic, educational, and social welfare of people who are deaf and hard of hearing in the State of Maryland. The MDAD membership includes deaf and hard of hearing people; hearing parents and guardians of deaf children; hearing children of deaf adults; and professionals who work with deaf people, all working together to support and learn from one another.
