Administrators build the systems that make family learning possible. Use this checklist to make sure resources, scheduling, events, and community connections reach every family of a Deaf or hard of hearing infant or toddler. It asks whether materials come in multiple languages and formats, whether scheduling is flexible with evening, weekend, and virtual options, whether events happen regularly with communication access built in, and whether families are connected early to Deaf adults and mentors. Use it to reflect on the quality of family learning across your program.
