Welcome to DeafLEAD
Our Mission
Our nonprofit organization was founded to provide Deaf and hard of hearing individuals comprehensive, unified and continuous support in enhancing their own socioemotional development, communication skills, and leadership through education within the state of Missouri.
Who We Serve
For over 25 years, we have served Deaf, DeafBlind, hard of hearing, and late-deafened victims of varying crimes and their families all over the state of Missouri, particularly domestic violence and sexual assault. As we are the only organization in the United States providing statewide direct services to Deaf, DeafBlind, hard of hearing, and late-deafened victims of crime, service providers all over the country also benefit from our expertise in ensuring that the Deaf individuals and families in their local communities are receiving culturally and linguistically appropriate services, such as first responders, law enforcement, victim service agencies, shelters, mental health professionals, and circuit courts.
