Program Description

Family Literacy Weekend is a fun, interactive weekend designed for families with Deaf, DeafBlind, and hard of hearing children ages 2–12. Throughout the weekend, families will participate in engaging literacy activities, explore children's books through American Sign Language (ASL), and learn strategies to support language development and early literacy at home.
