Education for the family & friends of deaf and hard of hearing children

LET'S GET STARTED
 

I'm not making it up when I say, there is ONE thing that contributes to a deaf child's success more than anything else:

 

The strength of the village and community that surrounds them.

I know, I know - that can feel a little overwhelming when you first read it (but I'm here to show you that it doesn't have to feel that way!)

 

How nice would it be for the deaf child in your life...

 

  • If you felt equipped and confident in every interaction you had with them
  • If you knew exactly how to best support them and their parents on the journey ahead
  • If you were one of the people they could turn to whenever they needed guidance or assurance
  • If you could always communicate with an ease and flow that fostered a sense of belonging and safety
  • If they could attend family gatherings without worrying about being left out or missing conversations
  • If they didn't have to educate you on the barriers they were facing because you already knew and understood what they needed
  • If they knew you were doing all you could to communicate in a way that served them (regardless of whether it was perfect or not!)
  • If they could depend on you to support and contribute to their life and growth in a way that would last well into the future

I know that raising a deaf and hard of hearing child is no easy feat!

 

Parents on the journey often feel...

  • Overwhelmed with trying to communicate the unique needs of their deaf child in a way that sticks
  • Tired of the immense 'mental load' and feeling like it all sits on your shoulders
  • Worried that there is more they could be doing to include their deaf child at family gatherings and events
  • Unsure of how to best support YOU (their family & friends) to get on board with the goals and vision they have for your child
  • Like they are nagging their loved ones when talking about the accommodations and supports their child needs
WE CAN CHANGE THAT!
