The Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center provides services for disabled individuals and their families in our community who need help in navigating the social services maze.

While all of us are susceptible to hard times, disabled individuals are at the most risk. With the generous support of people like you, we are able to help many of these families and individuals not only to meet essential daily needs, but to work toward a brighter future with programs in job training, education, counselling, elderly assistance, and temporary housing.
