Education

Deaf Ex-Mainstreamers (DEX) DEX is a deaf-led organisation that was set up simply to support deaf people who are being educated in mainstream education, or attended mainstream schools.

Deafened People: Adjustment and Support It is estimated that there are currently 1.9 million deafened adults living in North America - people who could once hear naturally or with amplification but have become deaf and are now unable to rely on hearing to comprehend spoken information. Despite this vast number, there are no existing books that specifically address the process of adjustment to, and acceptance of, deafness as an adult.
