Welcome

Hands & Voices is a nationwide non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families and their children who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as the professionals who serve them. We are a parent-driven, parent/professional collaborative group that is unbiased towards communication modes and methods. Our diverse membership includes those who are deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing impaired and their families who communicate orally, with signs, cue, and/or combined methods. We exist to help our children reach their highest potential.

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.
