The Jamaica Association for the Deaf (JAD) provides support to increase the quality of life for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Our services include education, a wide range of screening and diagnostic hearing tests, interpretation, Jamaican Sign Language training, book binding, school to work transition and other social services.
In fulfilling our mandate of providing access to educational, hearing health, and social support services, for Deaf persons, there is the need for a stronger Transitions Unit within the Social Services Department of the Jamaica Association for the Deaf.
