Behind the scenes at Deaf Community Services
Our Community
DCS serves a dynamic and diverse community of individuals representing the spectrum of Deafness. The San Diego Deaf community consists of individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, deafblind, or late-deafened. Our community includes professionals, senior citizens, disabled, immigrants, families, refugees, and youth and students from all walks of life, including different intersectional identities. Through our myriad of culturally and linguistically accessible services, we are able to assist and support members in our community at every juncture in life.
