CSD (Communication Service for the Deaf) opened its doors in 1975 with a mission to both advocate for and create access to essential programs and services that make the world more equal for deaf and hard of hearing individuals.
CSD began its journey as a small, but passionate grassroots movement in South Dakota and we have evolved in the decades since into an international organization that has positively affected millions of lives. For nearly forty years, CSD has worked to challenge convention by championing innovation, which has transformed the communications experience for deaf and hearing people.
