We want to make people’s lives easier and better the world over by inspiring and motivating them. We will share our family story of courage and faith, and the results that we could not have envisioned! We will empower parents of Deaf and special needs children, and anyone with a child. So that they have easy access to resources to deal with their child’s future: education, community (online and offline), devices, information, latest developments, ASL resources, workshops and mentors. This information will be shared through podcasting, blogging, articles, emails and speaking to groups. We will include tips, ideas, resources and other people’s stories of their challenges and miracles. Our podcasts will be released every other Friday.
