FAMILY CENTER ON DEAFNESS

 

FCD staff or volunteers meet families two to five times per month at times and locations (usually their homes) most convenient for the participant household. Individualized sessions focus on the goals of that family and may include sign language instruction, parenting education, literacy activities, information and referral, and tutoring. The emphasis is on meeting the needs of each participant as well as the family unit, as a whole. The staff members also provide links for families to information and services related to deafness or other issues on their support plans.
