This month, we’re celebrating love, diversity, and connection in every language! Our February newsletter is packed with resources, inspiring stories, and exciting events for families of children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
For many families, love is expressed not just through words but through gestures, actions, and shared experiences. In multilingual families, this expression takes on an even richer meaning, as parents work to create connections across languages, cultures, and communication styles. When a child is deaf or hard of hearing, the journey of communication may look different, but the love and effort families invest remain the same.
For families of children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is more than just a document—it’s a roadmap for success. This plan ensures that your child receives the accommodations and support they need to access education alongside their peers.
As we reach the midpoint of the school year, it’s important for families to take a step back and reflect: Is my child’s plan working effectively? A lot can change in a few months—children grow, learning expectations shift, and new challenges or strengths may emerge. That’s why a mid-year IEP check-in can help ensure that your child is getting the support they need to thrive both academically and socially.
