Events for Families with Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children
We host several events each year throughout the state, offering opportunities to meet, socialize, have fun, and connect with other families.
Please visit our Facebook page for the most current information and events. We are always seeking to connect with more families of Deaf and Hard of Hearing children for support and social opportunities. If you would like assistance in planning an event in your area, please contact us at handsandvoicesny@gmail.com.
Events are sponsored by the New York State Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Program (NY EHDI).
