Work With Clare.

At Raising Bilinguals, our mission is simple:

To shift the narrative for deaf and hard of hearing children through a rich-bilingual approach while supporting families and communities to do the same!

Why Should We Connect?

At Raising Bilinguals, we believe that real change happens when the right people come together - parents, educators, professionals, and the wider community - all working toward one shared goal: better outcomes for deaf and hard of hearing kids.

Whether it’s through tailored training, powerful storytelling, or meaningful partnerships, we’re here to shift the needle on inclusion, access, and language equity - for good!

Led by Clare Best - an experienced Teacher of the Deaf and mum to a Deaf child — everything we do blends lived experience, evidence-based practice, and a big dose of heart.

If you're here, you're probably someone who cares deeply too. We’d love to connect.

Whatever event, initiative or project you're striving to create - Clare and the team can help make it happen!
