Knoxville Area Community Center for the Deaf
Knoxville Area Community Center for the Deaf, Inc., was formed at a critical period for deaf people in the United States. Many deaf people are unaware of or do not have access to community agencies and organizations that provide services related to the needs of deaf people. Agencies, services, and community members are often uninformed about the needs of deaf people; and services to the deaf are not always coordinated in such a manner as to maximize their benefits http://www.korrnet.org/kaccd/index.htm
