1 Communication
Access We
believe deaf or hard-of-hearing children
are entitled to full communication
access in their home, school, and community.
We also believe that language development,
respect for the Deaf, and access to
deaf and hard-of-hearing role models
are important to assure optimal intellectual,
social, and emotional development.
2 Child We
believe there should
be access to identification
and intervention
by qualified providers,
family involvement,
and educational opportunities
equal to those provided
for hearing child
ren. The goal should
be to provide children
what they need in
order to become self-supporting
and fulfilled adults.
3 Parent We
affirm that parents have the right and responsibility to
be primary decision-makers and advocates. For this role,
parents need education, access to information, and support. |
