The Deaf Community in Connecticut

Connecticut is where American Deaf education began. The American School for the Deaf opened in Hartford in 1817, and ASL itself took shape in its classrooms. Today the community still centers on ASD in West Hartford, the Connecticut Association of the Deaf, and Deaf clubs and events across the state. But history doesn't guarantee access. Connecticut is small enough to cross in two hours, and Deaf residents still routinely can't find a therapist who signs — not in Bridgeport, not in Norwich, not in the towns between. Online therapy closes a gap that proximity never did.

How Online ASL Therapy Works

Starting is easy. Contact us, tell us a little about what you're looking for, and we'll pair you with one of our therapists licensed in Connecticut. Every session takes place on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform — no apps to figure out, no commute, no interpreter in the middle.

Insurance & Costs

Coverage shouldn't be a mystery. We work with most major commercial plans and Medicare, and offer single-case agreements (SCAs) when we're not already paneled with your plan. Our team confirms your benefits before your first appointment and explains everything plainly.

Why Deaf Clients in Connecticut Choose My Deaf Therapy

With the country's largest team of ASL-fluent therapists, we match Connecticut clients by specialty, style, and identity — not just availability. And every clinician seeing clients here holds a Connecticut license, which you can confirm free on the state's eLicense portal at elicense.ct.gov. Ethics aren't a feature; they're the foundation.
