In May 2023 the Jamaica Association for the Deaf (JAD) celebrates 85 years of providing support to increase the quality of life for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Our services include education, a wide range of screening and diagnostic hearing tests, interpretation, Jamaican Sign Language training, book binding, school-to-work transition and other social services.
In fulfilling our mandate of providing access to educational, hearing health, and social support services, for Deaf persons, there is the need for a stronger Transitions Unit within the Social Services Department of the Jamaica Association for the Deaf.
