The world we know is now different as we continue to adapt to the impact of COVID-19. In changing times, virtual support and online resources become an integral component of our service framework. We recently released a new lesson plan on COVID-19 and offer three lesson plans to support the Black Lives Matter movement. Children need, more than ever, relevant information in their day-to-day learning opportunities at home or school. This year, we utilized a hybrid approach for our annual Family Weekend Retreats, with Zoom videos and live chat options. It was a success, indicating that families are adapting, as well, to this new "normal." The educational landscape may be fluid and changing, but it is cementing our resolve and readiness to support you, your students, or your deaf child. Please do
