We Are Hands & Voices...

We are...  a parent-led, professionally-collaborative organization infused with the life experiences of adults who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, that is dedicated to serving families with children who are D/HH without a bias around communication modes or methodology

The Family Journey

Learning your child is deaf or hard of hearing can bring on different emotions at different times. We understand and support your need to think through your unique family situation and we are here to help you to make informed choices for your family.
