Digital Arts Academy for the Deaf(DAAD) is an edu-tech product company. The companies focus is on delivering accessible technical education to the 18 million odd Deaf people across india, many of whom are under the age of 30. The Deaf community experience a lot of barriers to live a full and productive life. Only a few of us jump through these hoops and be in position where we can also contribute back to the society ideally this shouldn't be the case.Our vision is to have every deaf person be a net contributor to the world around him. A major roadblock for this vision to be fulfilled is the lack of qualified educational resource specifically catering to the deaf community. This is specially true when it comes to material which deal with information technology. We plan to bridge the divide by providing courses in IT subjects in ISL education programs in isl lowers the entry barrier for deaf youth unlike any other medium.Qualified resource in our case are any resource material available in Indian Sign Language (ISL)
