The first deaf school in America was established by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc in 1817. Gallaudet, inspired by his neighbor's deaf daughter, sought to provide education for the deaf, while Clerc, a deaf educator from France, brought his expertise to the endeavor. Together, they founded the Hartford Asylum for the Education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons in Connecticut, which became a model for future deaf education in the United States. Their collaboration significantly advanced the education and rights of the deaf community.

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
