on Postsecondary Outcomes

Building better pathways for deaf people.

55.8% of deaf people have some college credit or a college degree — and every day, more are exploring what comes after high school.

Deaf people encounter barriers that limit access to education, training, and careers — not because of their potential, but because systems weren’t designed to include them. NDC helps schools, colleges, workforce agencies, and deaf people remove those barriers through resources, research, professional learning, individualized support, and tools like Deafverse.
