Program Affiliation

Program Goal
- Deaf Mentor Family Services works closely with families who have children who are deaf or hard of hearing, to improve their child's access to language by the instruction of American Sign Language (ASL) using the SKI-HI Deaf Mentor curriculum. DMFS focuses on these areas, early language acquisition through early visual communication while acquiring ASL, Deaf culture, community, connecting resources, and sharing their experiences as a person who is deaf or hard of hearing. Deaf Mentors also share valuable insight about the social emotional development of children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
