SUPPORT A FAMILY TODAY!

Imagine not knowing how to communicate with your child: not knowing what they want or need, not being able to reassure them with language. Research shows a child’s natural ability to develop language is strongest during the first years of life and families are their primary source of language. Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing children face immediate, significant barriers to communication in their daily interactions with family members, friends, and others.

Deaf Mentors provide families with natural language exposure and mentorship.

Help us pair Deaf Mentors with eligible families, donate today!
