What they say about us
I’ve noticed a significant difference between settings. In hearing youth groups, my child often feels isolated and struggles to participate. In a Deaf youth group, however, my child is more confident, happy, and fully engaged. Being in an accessible environment has allowed their personality to flourish and has greatly enhanced their sense of belonging.
As a parent of a Deaf child
BSL is my first language. This group has provided an accessible and welcoming environment that truly supports my children’s growth and development. Other groups have often been inaccessible due to a lack of communication support, but this group effectively bridges those gaps. It also offers valuable opportunities to share tips and advice with other parents, making us feel included, supported, and understood.
As a Deaf mother with two hearing children
I see this group as an excellent opportunity to support my children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development through structured play and interaction with peers and adults. It also supports the development of both spoken language and BSL. This group fills a significant gap in local services for Deaf families, providing an accessible and inclusive environment that we could not find elsewhere.
