National Deaf Children's Society

The National Deaf Children's Society (NDCS) is the leading charity dedicated to creating a world without barriers for deaf children and young people.

What we believe:

Deaf children can do anything other children can do, given early diagnosis and the right support from the start.
> Deaf children should be involved in decisions that affect them at as early an age as possible.
> Families are the most important influence on deaf children and young people, and need clear, balanced information to make informed choices.
> Effective language and communication skills lie at the heart of deaf children and young people's social, emotional and intellectual development.
> Deaf children should be valued by society and have the same opportunities as any other child.
