Supporting Success for Children with Hearing Loss
Supporting Success for Children with Hearing Loss began in 2011 with the goal of creating an ‘umbrella website’ for teachers of the deaf/hard of hearing. Supporting Success was built on the concept of making practical information readily available, resulting in the current resource-packed website. They strive to provide persons who work with students who are deaf or hard of hearing the resources to fulfill their mission to improve the futures of children with hearing loss.
National Deaf Center (NDC)
The mission at NDC is to close the substantial gaps in education and employment that exist for deaf people in the United States and its territories. Their team knows firsthand that the transition from high school to life beyond can be a tough one. That’s why they have many different ways to help deaf students and their families, teachers, specialists, and colleges. They have numerous resources regarding schooling and supports for education. #DeafSuccess
