Idaho Chapter

The purpose of the Idaho Chapter of AG Bell is to support the mission of the National Association by advocating independence through listening and talking.  Our membership consists of parents and families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, professionals in the field of hearing health care and deaf education, as well as oral deaf adults who are dedicated to keeping the oral option alive in Idaho. 

We hold annual conferences, network and lobby to promote the oral option.  This triad of membership allows for lifetime camaraderie and support for persons with hearing loss. 

The Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (AG Bell) is a lifelong resource, support network, and advocate for listening, talking and living independently with hearing loss.  Through publications, outreach, training, scholarships, and financial aid, AG Bell promotes the use of spoken language and hearing technology.  AG Bell's global presence provides its members and the public with the support the need close to home.  With over a century of service, AG Bell supports its mission: Advocating Independence through Listening and Talking!
