Deaf & Hard of Hearing Family Support
Deaf & Hard of Hearing
Communication, Connection, and Community
Every child deserves to be fully known by their family — and every family deserves support in making that happen.
Families with deaf or hard-of-hearing children face a unique set of joys and challenges — from navigating communication approaches to building a strong family identity and advocating for their child in the world. This program provides culturally affirming, knowledgeable support for parents at every stage of this journey.
