ASDC, which has been in existence since 1967, has a national office, with a toll-free hotline. Parents of newly identified children can be referred to ASDC by professionals working with the family.
Among the many services ASDC offers are a Parent-to-Parent Network to aid new parents, the ParentDeaf-HH discussion list, and a Parents Connected Network for keeping up with legislative issues. ASDC also has a speakers bureau of people who make presentations on a variety of topics, such as doing Individualized Education Plans.
Several printed resources can be purchased from ASDC, and ASDC publishes The Endeavor newspaper. All members receive the Endeavor as a membership benefit.
Every couple of years, ASDC holds a convention.
