About Us

Who are we? We are parents of ASL signers, cued speech users.... parents of kids with cochlear implants, total communicators.... our children may be using their hands and/or their voices.... we are people who have common interests connected through the community of deafness. Hands & Voices is a safe place to explore options, discover new resources, learn from one another, and share what we have in common. We are a parent-driven, and professionally collaborative organization.  We believe that we have more that unites us than divides us. 

 The FL3 Center is here to serve as a national technical resource center to increase family engagement, leadership, and support for families of children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing in the EHDI systems of care.
