Parent Group

During the interactive family time, we will discuss “How to be safe near
dogs”.
During the Parent Group, Bette Mentz-Powell from ODHH (Office of
Deaf/HH) will talk about “Interpreter Issues and your deaf/hh child”.
Please contact Connie Stevens if you will be attending. I need to

Shore to Shore is a program for families with a deaf or hard of hearing
member and those who work with them. We believe that communication in
the family is the foundation to social, emotional and academic development.
