DHH Access & Understanding was created to support Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Deaf-Blind families understand their rights as well as have access to knowledge about how they can best support their child. This was also created to support Educators and Districts that have D/HOH/DB learners and to better support and meet their unique learning needs. This website works to promote Family and School engagement to better support and teach D/HH/DB learners.
