American Annals of the Deaf

The American Annals of the Deaf (hereafter, Annals) is a peer-reviewed professional journal that shares current research on topics related to services for deaf individuals, primarily the education of deaf children. The Annals was first published in 1847, and it is the oldest deaf education journal still in dissemination. It is published by a joint committee of the Council of American Instructors of the Deaf and the Conference of Educational Administrators of Schools and Programs for the Deaf.

There are five issues published a year—four are literary issues, and one is an annual reference issue. The literary issues include research, book reviews, editorials, and other articles of interest to the readership. The annual reference issue lists schools and programs in the United States and Canada. The [Page 534]listing includes names, contact information, and other information for each school and program. The annual reference issue also includes demographic data about deaf students and their schools.
