Parent Support Letters
As parents of children who are deaf and hard of hearing, the Family Support Connection staff values each family's experience. We can all think back to a key decision-making moment in our child's life. We were busy gathering research and advice from professionals to reach a decision. We also recall the comfort and support we felt sharing our experiences with other families in a similar situation. Those families' experiences aided us in this difficult decision-making process.

We invite you to read the following stories written by a variety of families, representing many different communication options, use of technology, and educational placement. The letters are intended to be a comfort to parents, to welcome the parents into our community and to give families just learning about hearing loss a rich array of choices for their child. Please let us know if you would wish to connect with families like these (mnhv@lifetrackresources.org.)
