How many times have you wanted to put your child in an extracurricular activity, but you stopped short because you didn’t think your child would understand or would be able to hear what was going on?

Language access in school is one thing, and we often fight hard for that. Language access in extracurricular activities is almost non-existent for our deaf and hard of hearing kids.

Today we’re going to talk about how to talk to your child’s coach or instructor about tactical strategies to help your child get access to language and enjoy the activity, too.
