Creating a Visual Friendly Environment at Home
The door bell rings and a child who can hear runs to answer it. Can a child who is deaf or hard of hearing do the same? Raising a child who is deaf/hard of hearing in an accessible home environment can be a challenge for parents. Ideas for encouraging positive visual communication techniques in a home and technology that converts auditory information to accessible information will be presented. Participants will learn how to help parents create a home environment that is visually friendly for children from infancy. Participants will 'rotate' through informative and entertaining booths of technology and communication strategies. A brief discussion of how these booths can be used to orient parents of infants and toddlers to Deaf Culture will be included.
