DEAL helps people who come to it, but that's not enough. 

There are thousands of people in Australia, and millions of people around the world, who need communication assistance - the right kind of communication assistance - and who aren't going to get it unless governments change their mind about what's important. Governments listen to people in
large numbers making their wishes known directly. 

If DEAL is going to be listened to, we need to be able to speak for large numbers of people.  If you believe that everybody deserves a chance, that nobody should be written off as retarded until they've had an opportunity to show they can communicate, and that everybody can communicate in some form or another, think about joining up with DEAL.

DEAL is a non-government non-profit charitable organisation. Any person with a commitment to the rights and welfare of people with communication impairments can become a member of DEAL.

The cost of membership is $25 a year, for which you also get the DEAL newsletter.  You might like to consider doing voluntary work, too, or standing for the Committee.

DEAL needs your help.
