Bridges for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is a nonprofit organization that has been serving Middle Tennessee, northern Alabama, and southern Kentucky since 1927. With a rich history and a comprehensive range of programs and services, Bridges aims to create a vibrant community of equality, access, opportunity, and self-realization for individuals and families living with hearing loss. From education and outreach to case management and interpreting services, Bridges is dedicated to providing support and resources to ensure that all individuals are welcomed and valued. Founded by Margaret Lane Washington, who became a certified lip reading teacher after learning she was losing her hearing, Bridges has evolved over the years to become a trusted organization offering services from birth through senior years. With offices in Nashville and Memphis, Bridges continues to expand its reach, striving to bridge the gap between the Deaf and hard of hearing community and the wider society through workshops, classes, and advocacy efforts. By promoting Deaf culture and providing resources for communication and education, Bridges empowers individuals and families to thrive and overcome the challenges associated with hearing loss.Generated from the website
