The National Deaf Children’s Society is highlighting the support available to parents of deaf children, as part of Deaf Awareness Week (6-12 May).  

With more than 90% of deaf children born to hearing parents with no experience of deafness, many families can be unsure where to go for support or what being deaf means for their child’s future. Parents who are deaf may also not always know where to go to for support when they are told their child is deaf.
