FL3 Office Hours

Hands & Voices offers “FL3 Office Hours” on selected Thursdays throughout the year.  The time will alternate between 11 AM and 6 PM Mountain Time (MT) (see our 2024-25 Information flyer (pdf)) and the registration information below. Please adjust for your time zone).

The goal is for parent & DHH adult leaders, family liaisons, EHDI program staff and family-based organizations to network with one another, discuss the featured topic, share resources and have Q&A time.  The topics are chosen because of their importance to the work of providing parent-to-parent support for families with children who are deaf/hard of hearing (D/HH).  Each session is led by rotating Hands & Voices staff and guests. 

Please assign one Parent or D/HH Leader per program to attend and bring back information. 

Captioning will be provided.  For other access needs, please register 1 week prior to the date and indicate your needs.

Registration is required 48 hours in advance. (One week prior for communication access requests.)

Registration confirmation, Zoom access, password and captioning information will be sent to registrants the day prior.

Engaging DHH Leaders

Facilitated by Emily Burke, CO-Director of DHH Infusion, Hands & Voices/FL3 Center; presented in ASL with English interpretation. 

When we promote positive engagement and partnerships with DHH leaders within the EHDI system and our communities, it may strengthen the bridge for connection with DHH parents raising DHH children who may also benefit from services and resources. We will look at the FL3 resource Tips for Meaningful Participation in EHDI and how we might implement best practices recommended in our family-based organizations, explore how to utilize appropriately qualified accessibility services at local and virtual events, meetings (chapter and FBO) and partnering with local DHH and/or Deaf-led organizations and service agencies.

Objectives:

  1. Identify your organization's why for connecting with DHH Leaders.
  2. Describe practical strategies to expand your organization's opportunities to connect with DHH Leaders.
  3. Identify available resources to further the goal of engaging with new DHH Leaders through group discussion.
