"Being a Child who is DHH is Not Always Easy. Neither is Being a Sibling."
Supporting families of DHH children can sometimes be limited to the parents and the DHH child themselves. What about the siblings?! In this presentation we will interview young teens about their experiences with DHH and DHH plus siblings. This will be a raw, empowering, and honoring educational experience.
