Danish Deaf Association

The Danish Deaf Association (Danish: Danske Døves Landsforbund, DDL) is a private advocacy group which works to ensure better living conditions for deaf people in Denmark.It campaigns for equality between deaf and hearing people in education, paid employment and accessibility, as well as the legal status and accessibility of Danish Sign Language.[1] In 1866, a group of deaf craftsmen in Copenhagen who had attended the Danish Institute of Deafness founded an association called Døvstummeforeningen af 1866 ('the Deaf-mute Association of 1866').[5][6] Upon its recognition, the Danish Sign Language Council was established.The Danish Deaf Association appoints a member to the council.
