Community Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
The Community Center for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing (CCDHH) was established in 1975 to meet the diverse needs of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities. The Deaf community was looking for services and programs to be provided in American Sign Language (ASL), and hard of hearing individuals sought support and guidance from knowledgeable professionals who could understand their unique challenges. The CCDHH is the only full-service community center for the Deaf in Northeast Ohio.
We provide a broad range of resources for persons who are deaf and/or hard of hearing living in Cuyahoga, Erie, Geauga, Huron, Lake, Lorain or Sandusky counties.
Advocates believes the best way to serve Deaf people with disabilities is to honor the culture and values of the Deaf community. Our programs include Deaf residential services and Deaf Respite. Through our philosophy, The Advocates Way, we strive to practice empathy and common ground in our work, which is why we support Deaf people with Deaf staff as often as possible.
