The Association of Late-Deafened Adults is about communication and acceptance of every deafened individual. Some people lip-read, some sign, some use hearing aids, some have cochlear implants, and some need to have others write down what they are saying - and at ALDA all the above is okay! ALDAs official communication philosophy is "Whatever works!"
ALDA Sonora is the newest group of ALDA. This social network is comprised of late deaf adults, their spouses & family, & anyone interested is welcome to join. We will be holding approximately six meetings per year on both the east & west sides of town in AZ.
