DeafMD: Health Information in American Sign Language

DeafMD’s website provides health information in American Sign Language (ASL) to the Deaf & Hard of Hearing population. Using health information created by two trustworthy and unbiased government sources (CDC and NIH), DeafMD’s team of healthcare providers, linguists, and educators translates this complex information into ASL.

DeafMD contains 4 distinct, informative sections: Diseases & Illnesses, Understanding Tests, News, & Find a Deaf Friendly Doctor.

While each section is different, each one is specifically designed to promote a better understanding and knowledge of health. Videos on how to use the resource are embedded in the site.
