SHORE TO SHORE
A program for Families with Deaf and Hard of Hearing Members
Do you feel the need to connect with other parents who are raising deaf
or hard of hearing children? Are you a deaf parent who would like to
meet others? Do you want your children to play with other kids so they
learn social skills and make friends? Do you wish you had someone who
you could learn and practice your sign language skills? If you answered
yes to any of these questions, please join us.
Summer Story Time and Parent Group
Tuesday mornings 9:00am to 11:30am. July 17th through August 14th
This program starts with playgroup, circle time and storytelling
experiences in American Sign Language, followed by supervised literacy
activities for children and workshops for adults on the needs of deaf
and hard of hearing children. Sign language and voice interpreting will
be available.
A light snack will be provided for the children. If you plan to attend,
please RSVP to allow time to arrange for childcare volunteers with sign
language experience.
Parent Topics:
• Discipline for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Child
• Learn the importance and the techniques of drawing simple pictures to
build conversations with your children about their daily routines and
special events –

emotional and academic development.

other shore.
