FL3 Office Hours

Hands & Voices offers “FL3 Office Hours” on selected Thursdays throughout the year, including two DHH Office Hours sessions specifically focusing on Deaf/Hard of hearing leadership.  The time will alternate between 11 AM and 6 PM Mountain Time (MT). 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.
