Embracing Your Deaf Child

/in , /by

We are delighted to invite you to join the first annual Conference of the American Society for Deaf Children (ASDC) 2022 for Latino families. Our mission is to train Latino families to understand the needs of living as a family with deaf children.

The full-day conference will be held in Spanish via Zoom.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2022

9:00 AM – 4:45 PM (PST) | $25

Why Should I Attend?

ASL provides a strong foundation for learning, supports other languages like English and Spanish, and sets the stage for success in school and life. Starting as early as possible is crucial to building this foundation and understanding the resources available to assist you as a parent and your family as you support your deaf child. This conference will support you in this journey and give your child the boost they deserve in developing strong language skills. All sessions are in Spanish.
