New Resources

Updated Version of NIDCD Resources Directory Available

The 2008-2009 NIDCD Resources Directory is designed to encourage networking among individuals and organizations with an interest in human communication and the diseases and disorders of human communication. Newly updated, it lists selected national organizations that provide information on NIDCD program areas—hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech, and language. Entries identify the scope of each organization’s materials or services and provide contact information. It is available in hard copy or online with a searchable database.
