Support for Families with Children who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing

Massachusetts Hands & Voices is a parent-driven, non-profit organization providing families with the resources, networks, and information to improve communication access and educational outcomes for their children. Our outreach activities, parent/professional collaboration, and advocacy efforts are focused on enabling children who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing to reach their highest potential.

 

We aim to support families with children who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing without a bias around communication modes or methodology. We believe that children who are d/Deaf and hard of hearing and their families should have access to all services appropriate to their needs.

 

We believe “What works for your child is what makes the choice right.”
