As President of ADARA, it is a pleasure to welcome you to our website. ADARA presents an opportunity for professionals who work with Deaf people to come together and exchange ideas, suggestions and critiques regarding matters of interest to our field. We welcome your visits and your membership to ADARA.  Please feel free to participate in discussions and respond to issues of concern in local, statewide national and international arenas. Above all, JOIN and PARTICIPATE.
