THE TIME IS NOW for Hands & Voices, a communication non-biased family support organization

LOSS & FOUND™ tells you what to do if your baby didn’t pass the newborn hearing screen.

Supporting Families Without Bias

When Hands & Voices first started out, we were constantly asked if we really believed an organization could be unbiased about communication modes and methodology. Ten years & thousands of members later, we've proved it can be done. Here's how.

Guide By Your Side

Guide By Your Side™ is a Hands & Voices program that embodies our strong values of direct peer connections and networking. It promotes self efficacy and hinders isolation by exploring our common bond, shared experiences, challenges, wisdom and insight.

Communication Considerations A to Z™
Communication Considerations A to Z™ is a series from Hands & Voices that's designed to help families and the professionals working with them access information, diverse perspectives, and further resources to assist them in raising and educating children who are deaf or hard of hearing
