Learn About the Hands & Voices Organization

July 2021

Have you heard of Hands & Voices (H&V)? It’s a parent organization dedicated to supporting families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH)—including those who are deaf-blind—from birth through high school.

Reach out to your local H&V chapter or visit handsandvoices.org to access information and resources, learn about events, and connect with other families.

In addition to support and advocacy efforts, H&V offers the other programs described under resources.
