History

The Deaf and Hard of Hearing Center (Deaf Service Center of Southwest Florida, Inc.) was founded in 1983 as the Speech and Hearing Association with the mission to β€œbenefit communication-disabled people and to educate the community regarding their needs.” Over the years, the mission was revised and the focus became β€œoffer programs and services to improve the quality of life for deaf and hard of hearing citizens of Southwest Florida.” Our current mission statement demonstrates a clearer commitment to the residents of Lee, Charlotte, Collier, Hendry, and Glades counties.

We are the only organization of its kind and scope in Southwest Florida – specifically working with the deaf and hard of hearing communities. In addition, all of the members of our program staff are fluent in American Sign Language.
