About
- Description
- According to statistics overseas, 90% of Children of Deaf Adults (CODA) are hearing. Naturally, CODAs are bilingual (of both sign and oral languages) and bicultural (of both hearing and non-hearing cultures). However, such an important aspect has largely been overlooked by the society. The education and welfare package for CODAs is far from adequate. The development of intellectual, physical and emotional health of CODAs has suffered as a result. CODA(HK) is the first of its kind in Asia. Established in 2013, its objectives are to help CODAs of Hong Kong understand and acknowledge their special identity as bilingual and bicultural, learn and develop potential skills, build a self-help community, and adopt positive outlooks of life. CODAs are the second generation of deaf people. We are therefore concerned about government policies of deaf welfare and sign language. Through education, advocacy, publication and academic research, we promote knowledge of sign language and deaf culture to the public and various stakeholders. We believe in building a society in which the deaf and the hearing integrate harmoniously. Our Mission is (i) to provide professional and diversified services and activities to CODAs; (ii) to support CODAs’ life development; to increase CODAs’ awareness and acceptance of their bilingual and bicultural identity, (iii) to help CODAs build a positive outlook on life; (iv) to encourage CODAs to serve and care for deaf people, and become a bridge between the hearing and the deaf worlds.
