Ohio Hands & Voices

Ohio Hands & Voices Dedicated to supporting families with children who are DHH without a bias around communication.

We began as a group of parents and professionals who were seeking change in the Deaf education system in Ohio. This group worked together to raise interest among family members, audiologists, speech therapists, teachers, early intervention specialists, and other professionals across the state. In 2009, we were honored to become an official chapter of Hands & Voices. Since that time we have continued to raise awareness for our cause while increasing our membership, creating family events and supporting parents state-wide. Today, Ohio Hands & Voices is a network of parents, family members and professionals with a strong commitment to the deaf and hard of hearing education community. We serve those who use American Sign Language, spoken English, total communication, cued speech, cochlear implants, hearing aids and/or no hearing technologies from Ohio (and the rest of the nation). Ohio Hands & Voices is a safe place to explore options, get unbiased support, learn from one another and share common experiences. We value diversity and honor the role of parents and family as the single greatest factor in raising a well-adjusted, successful child.

Who will we see at the first annual deaf Deaf Education OHIO conference on Saturday? Ohio Hands & Voices will have a table, and board member Camille Warren will be giving the closing plenary with Hands & Voices Deaf Infusion board member Carrie Spangler. Former Ohio Hands & Voices board member Carrie Davenport is giving the opening plenary! Can't wait to see you there - be sure to come say hi!

We’re just over a week away from the First Annual Ohio Deaf Education Conference! 🎉

As often happens in life, plans can shift unexpectedly—and our session schedule was no exception. But if there’s one thing we in education do well, it’s pivoting! Thanks to the incredible lineup of sessions and presenters, we were able to adjust the schedule smoothly behind the scenes.

You’ll notice a few updates (highlighted in yellow) in what we hope will be the final version of the schedule.

We are so excited to come together, learn, and connect with you. Cleveland is ready—we can’t wait to welcome you next week!

Middle schoolers! This one’s for you!
