Connect with other parents of deaf and hard of hearing children from 0-18 years of age. It’s never too early and never too late to learn more about how to encourage educational excellence for our children!
When: Saturday October 25, 2014, 9:30 am – 3:00 pm
Where: Douglas College, 700 Royal Ave., New Westminster, Room 1630/1640 – Level 1 South
Join us for our fall parent workshop featuring two captivating speakers from the U.S. – Janet DesGeorges (founding member and executive director of Hands & Voices) and Mark Drolsbaugh (author of “Madness in the Mainstream”). We will explore the unique aspects of supporting children who are deaf/hard of hearing while examining the core components that lead to success for ALL children. The educational needs of our children vary greatly – but they also have so much in common. As parents, what information do we need to ensure success for our children?
