Issues Hearing Parents Face with Our Deaf/Hard of Hearing Child’s Education and Their Life
A majority of children who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing are born to hearing parents. No parent is immediately an expert on their newborn baby and there are periods of adjustment and learning for everyone, but adding the variables that come with a Deaf/Hard of Hearing child can be overwhelming and isolating. We are two of those parents. We were co-workers and close friends before we had our children. We both have late-diagnosed Deaf/Hard of Hearing children with different etiologies. We have each used different modes of communication to enable our children to learn and communicate. We have enrolled our children in a variety of school situations. We have moved school districts and have even moved across the country to find what we need for our children. We have lived through and talked through these decisions together and we know how important it is to acknowledge and discuss them. We will provide that forum for families by drawing on our own experiences and encouraging families to talk about theirs.
- Participants will be able to see similarities and differences in their own situations or those of their patients and understand the thought process we all go through searching for what we need for our Deaf/Hard of Hearing children.
