Welcome

Hands & Voices is a nationwide non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families and their children who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as the professionals who serve them. We are a parent-driven, parent/professional collaborative group that is unbiased towards communication modes and methods. Our diverse membership includes those who are deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing impaired and their families who communicate orally, with signs, cue, and/or combined methods. We exist to help our children reach their highest potential.

  • We are a parent-driven parent/professional collaborative group that supports families without bias about commuinication modes and methods.

  • We believe that there is no one communication choice that will work for all children who are deaf or hard of hearing.  We think families need access to good information that's free from a sponsoring agenda or ideology.

  • We believe that "What works for your child is what makes the choice right."

  • We get meaningfully involved in early hearing detection and intervention programs, educational advocacy, and other systems to improve them from an end-user perspective.

  • We exist to help our children/students reach their highest portential.

  • We believe our children have a fundamental human right to communication, regaurdless of their mode or method of communicatication
