The Bob Rumball Center for the Deaf (BRCD) provides opportunities to improve quality of life and promote the language and culture of deaf people. It offers various social, educational, and recreational programs to deaf, hard of hearing and deafened people of all ages. Services include American Sign Language classes, counseling, parenting workshops, and childcare. For children under 6, BRCD provides free drop-in support for parents and does not turn older children away if help is requested. Support is gradually tapered off as children age out of programs. BRCD aims to be a central place for deaf community support and connecting families to additional resources.
