Sign Language


Deaf Culture Topics

Question: Are there any "official" deaf organizations? I am working on a research paper for my senior project, and my topic is on deaf culture and sign language. One of my subtitles is "Organizations for the deaf", but I would like to know if anyone knows of any official organizations. And if you do, then please either elaborate on them or if you know of a web address, then I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with that information. Thanks in advance for your assistance!
