WHY FAMILIES NEED SUPPORT
95% of all children who are deaf or hard of hearing are born into hearing families (Mitchell & Karchmer 2004). Even if parent(s) are deaf or hard of hearing themselves, they may seek a community and/or training to learn to advocate for their child.
OUR CHILDREN WILL
REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
