Family Resources
Helping Families With Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children
It’s our goal to help families across the state by providing resources and quality services for families with deaf and hard-of hearing-children.
Resources for Parents/Guardians
Wondering if your child is hitting their developmental milestones? Need information on educating or raising your child who is deaf or hard of hearing? We live in a world with overwhelming information and it may be a struggle to find information specific to your child’s needs. A collection of links, including state events and development guides are available through the link below.
Family Support Mentors
Mentors for families raising children who are deaf, hard of hearing or deafblind may request an adult mentor. Mentors have formal training in working with families, and have experience either as a Deaf individual or as a parent who has raised a child who is deaf or hard of hearing. Mentor services are free.
