SUMMARY:Parent Support - Virtual Events - April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Download Image\n    \n\n\n\n\n\nParent Support – Virtual Event\n\n\n\nCreating Language-Rich Environments at Home\n\n\n\nIntentional and purposeful use of bilingual strategies for Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children\n\n\n\nVirtual Event: \n\n\n\nThis two-hour session explores how pairing American Sign Language (ASL) with spoken language fosters optimal language\, cognitive\, and social-emotional development. Participants will learn the evidence behind bimodal-bilingual approaches\, discover practical strategies for embedding ASL and spoken language in daily routines\, and explore fun ways to create language-rich environments for DHH children. Through interactive discussion and real-world examples\, we will examine why ASL and spoken language together provide a strong foundation for language development and discuss strategies for creating language-rich environments at home. Participants will leave with actionable strategies to foster a dual-language approach and create environments where DHH children can thrive. \n\n\n\nDr. Kimberly Ofori-Sanzo is the Director of Language First and a speech-language pathologist (SLP) who has experience working at a school for the deaf\, as well as presenting and publishing on topics related to language acquisition\, bilingualism\, and language deprivation. \n\n\n\nASL Interpreted Event \n\n\n\nRegistration is required: Register link the virtual event \n\n\n\nor use the QR code: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: Sunday\, April 26 Time: 4:00 pm – 6:00 pmLocation: OnlineHave Questions?Contact Hands & Voices of NY:Email: handsandvoicesny@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\nWhat works for your child is what makes the choice right! \n\n\n\nWe support families of Deaf or Hard of Hearing children\, unbiased towards communication methods.
