Deaf & Hard of Hearing Services:

Did you recently learn that your baby or toddler is deaf or hard of hearing (DHH)?  Do you have questions about how your child will learn to communicate, what kind of technology they may benefit from, or what their life will look like as a DHH person? Do you wonder if your child who is deaf or hard of hearing is using enough words or signs for their age? Do you need help navigating early learning experiences for your Deaf or Hard of Hearing Child? Do you want to learn about Deaf culture or lived experience from a deaf or hard of hearing adult? Are you interested in learning ASL?
