"We didn't know what to do for your for staff development, so we put you with the ###x teachers."

I heard that more times than I can count. No warning. No discussion. Just me - sitting in the wrong room, watching the clock.

Sound familiar?

Teachers of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing are often "onlys." And too often, that means professional development that has nothing to do with your students or your work.

That's exactly why our Mini-Conference was created. March 6-7, we're offering two half-days of real skills and real people, built specifically for you.

You deserve PD that actually fits.

When you first hear the words,
“Your child has hearing loss,”
everything else gets quiet.
Your brain races.
Your heart drops.
And suddenly you’re expected to make big decisions… fast.
If this is you right now — pause. 💛
You do not have to figure everything out today.
One of the most helpful resources for parents is a simple guide called
“How to Start to Help Your Child.”
It doesn’t overwhelm you with jargon.
It focuses on what actually matters first:
✔️ Building language from day one
✔️ Connecting with early support
✔️ Understanding your child’s listening needs
✔️ Taking small, powerful steps at home
Because here’s the truth:
Children with hearing loss can thrive.
But thriving doesn’t start with perfection.
It starts with information, support, and confidence.
If you’re a parent walking this path or you know someone who just received a diagnosis, this is the kind of resource that makes the next step feel possible.
Save this.
Share this.
Tag a parent who needs to hear:
“You’ve got this.” 💛

IEP meetings can feel overwhelming—especially when your child is deaf or hard of hearing.

IEP meetings go best when everyone is pulling in the same direction.

For families of children with hearing differences, collaboration isn’t about staying quiet or giving up your voice.

It’s about using your voice clearly, thoughtfully, and with intention.

When teams are really working together:

• Access is planned with care
• Supports change as your child grows
• Progress is realistic and meaningful
• Decisions are based on your child—not assumptions or comparisons

True collaboration means understanding that everyone brings something important to the table.

Educators bring their knowledge of instruction.

Families bring deep, everyday knowledge of their child.

When those pieces come together, plans are stronger—and kids benefit.

This carousel is a gentle reminder that confidence in IEP meetings doesn’t have to look confrontational. It can be calm. It can be respectful. And it can still be effective.

Because when collaboration comes first, progress follows. 💛
