Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility
The Need for Community and Connectedness
What is Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility?
Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility, formerly known as the Western Institute for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, is a British Columbian non-profit organization. We are dedicated to creating a society where people who are Deaf, Deafened, Deafblind, and Hard of Hearing can fully participate.
Individuals continue to face daily challenges and contend with issues of exclusion in the workforce, education, and public life because of communication barriers. Wavefront Centre provides supportive programs that focus on strengths and talents rather than barriers.

Communication Devices Showroom
