Family Support
Family Support leads to empowered families & children.
When many families find out their child has been diagnosed with a hearing loss, their infant is the first person they have met who is Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing. There are many questions - and many answers. We're here to help you feel connected, supported, and linked to the many resources available.
The HATCH lab is Idaho's family support network.
We have an Advisory Committee of parents across the state who have children who are DHH. Families have chosen a continuum of communication and language options.
Our mission: Empowering families’ successes through connections and collaborative support.
Our vision: Families have the support and resources to optimize the outcomes of their children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
