Deaf Australia was founded in 1986 by a group of Deaf people who felt that more could be achieved by working together as one large group rather than as many smaller groups or in association with organisations not controlled by Deaf people.

Who founded American athletic association for the deaf?

Source verbatim: A Journey into the Deaf World, Lane, Hoffmeister, Bahan, pg 131 On April 13, 1945, representatives of several Deaf clubs met at the Akron Club of the Deaf and founded the AAAD. Why Akron? During world wars, Deaf men and women were not permitted to serve in the military, they joined the industries' workforce instead. The great rubber companies based in Akron hired large numbers of Deaf workers and, with a critical mass of Deaf people, local Deaf culture flourished. Again, this information is taken directly from A Journey into the Deaf World. SB

What city in Connecticut was the first American school for the deaf was founded?

The first school for the Deaf was founded by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet wanted to find a way to teach deaf children. His neighbor Mason Gogswell had a deaf daughter, Alice, and Gogswell did not want her locked away in a mental institution, as was common practice during those times. Thomas left the U.S. in search of a way to educate deaf people, in 1816, while in England seeking their method of educating the deaf he attended a deaf-mute show which featured it's star pupil: Laurent Clerc, a brilliant deaf student from France. Gallaudet convinced Clerc to come to the U.S. and help set up a school and hence in 1817 the first school for the Deaf opened in Hartford Connecticut.
