Mission

The mission of The Center for Community and Professional Services is to enhance, enrich, and empower the lives of deaf and hard of hearing individuals. The realization of this mission is dependent upon two main goals of The Center. The first is the provision of accessible education, information, programs and services to deaf and hard of hearing individuals. The second goal is the fostering of understanding between the deaf/ hard of hearing communities.

Program

The Center for Community and Professional Services (CCPS) at The Pennsylvania School for the Deaf (PSD) is a highly respected regional resource center providing a comprehensive collection of vital services and programs for deaf and hard of hearing individuals, their families, professionals in the field, and hearing people interested in issues involving hearing loss. Formally opened in 1989, The Center operates as a separate entity from PSD, each year serving more than 5,000 people from its location adjacent to the PSD campus.
