Deaf Seniors of America (DSA) and the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) are teaming up to learn more about the experiences of Deaf older adults (age 50+) across the country.

Your input will help us understand the needs, challenges, and strengths of Deaf seniors — and guide future programs, policies, and services that truly reflect our community.

Take the survey here:
* Must be 50 years or older to participate
* Takes about 10–15 minutes
* Your personal contact information stays confidential
* Results will be shared publicly in summary form

Need help completing the survey in ASL?�Contact info@deafseniors.us and a DSA team member will set up a VP (Video Phone) meeting with you.

Let’s make sure our Deaf senior community’s voices are seen, heard, and valued!
