They will share how their life experiences as Deaf individuals have influenced their perspectives. They will also suggest strategies professionals can use to develop positive and respectful relationships with parents who are Deaf. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask Tim and Teresa questions about their own life experiences and their thoughts about raising deaf children.
