WHO WE ARE
Hands & Voices is a non-profit, parent-driven organization dedicated to supporting families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. We are non-biased about communication methodologies and believe that families can make the best choices for their child if they have access to good information and support.
Hands & Voices is a safe place to explore options, get support, learn from one another and share what we have in common. We honor the role of parents and families as the single greatest factor in raising a well-adjusted, successful child.
Our activities focus on parent support, outreach and advocacy. We collaborate with professionals in an effort to impact and improve both the medical and educational systems that serve our children.
Kentucky Hands & Voices is an independent state chapter affiliated with Hands & Voices Headquarters, an international organization based in Boulder, CO.
