Why ALDA Northwest Indiana?

After attending ALDA Chicago events and ALDA con (national), it was decided that Northwest Indiana could surely use some of that "ALDA" hospitality!  ALDA is a gem waiting to be discovered.  Come and meet us!   

What is ALDA?

ALDA is Association of Late Deafened Adults.  

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. 

Where do we meet? 

We meet at the Dyer-Schereville Library

1001 W. Lincoln Highway Schererville, Indiana

All those with hearing loss, cochlear implant users, and their families are welcome. 

Next meeting will be dated in November, 2009.

CART provided.  Refreshments served.  Hope to see you there!

Check back soon for date!
