DEAF/HARD OF HEARING LEADERS/ROLE MODELS/MENTORS

Deaf/Hard of Hearing Leaders are essential components in Early Hearing Detection & Intervention programs.  Families should have communication and connections with a diverse number of DHH Leaders.  The important role of DHH leaders is immeasurable supporting the social-emotional well-being of families and infants/children, their language, literacy development and their cognitive development.
