Family Learning Tip Sheet for Birth-to-Three

Families are a child's first and most important teachers. Family learning builds the knowledge, confidence, and connections that support a Deaf or hard of hearing child's growth from birth to three. It can look like learning ASL, sharing books, playing, and weaving language into everyday routines; connecting with Deaf adults, mentors, and other families; and getting support around communication and hearing technology. Strong programs offer this learning flexibly and at each family's own pace. Use it as a friendly starting point for family learning.
