Experiencing Deaf Culture: Creating a Friendly Visual Environment at Home
The door bell rings and a child who can hear runs to answer it. Can a child who is deaf do the same? Raising a child who is deaf in an accessible home environment can be a challenge for parents. Ideas for encouraging positive visual communication techniques in a home and technology that converts auditory information to accessible information will be presented. Participants will learn how to help parents create a home environment that is visually friendly for children from infancy. Participants will rotate through informative and entertaining booths of technology and communication strategies. A brief discussion of how these booths can be used to orient parents of infants and toddlers to Deaf Culture will be included.
- advise parents how to create an accessible home environment for the deaf/hard of hearing child.
