WELCOME to the DEAF COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER!
At DCRC we speak the language of the Deaf/ DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing Community (Deaf Community). DCRC aims to serve the needs of the deaf community through all phases of life, birth through end of life, by providing advocacy, day to day support, and education for both the deaf and hard of hearing individuals and those who interact with them.
DCRC is committed to being a safe haven where services for deaf/deafblind and hard of hearing and their families are provided by deaf with hard of hearing and hearing allies. DCRC is committed to fostering an atmosphere where the Deaf Community can experience access to communication to further inclusion, opportunities, equality and belonging with family, friends, coworkers, and community.
DCRC is a CARF accredited 501 (c) 3 organization offering services in more than a dozen counties in Ohio.
Services include:

Community Support, with 2 offices locations, but serving a large area of West Central Ohio- Dayton, our main business office and Springfield, our satellite office. Lovingly called Case Management, this service provides support, information, and advocacy for deaf individuals navigating a hearing world AND hearing individuals navigating a deaf world.
