Brief Introduction

ALDA - Asia Pacific or ALDA - AP is an official group of the Association of Late Deafened Adults (ALDA) Inc. This group covers countries in Asia and the Pacific region.

In the USA, ALDA has offered a great platform for deafened people, their families, and friends for many years. They have many chapters and group in different states, which arrange various activities. However, it has been noticed that movement of Deafened people is no where in Asia-Pacific countries. People don't know the term "Deafened". Communication needs of deafened people have not been understood, and there were none who raised awareness about the needs of deafened people. There was no platform where deafened people could turn to seek technical and emotional support after becoming deaf.

Therefore, we started ALDA - AP to provide a platform to deafened people and their families and friends in the Asia-Pacific region.
