Welcome
Welcome
I'm Rachel Coleman.
Like you, I am the parent of a child who is deaf.
When my daughter was diagnosed, I had so many questions, hopes, and fears. I searched for answers that sometimes took years to find. Nearly two decades later, I've created this site to help you get answers, access resources, and connect with a community that understands your needs.
As you start your own journey in parenting a child with hearing loss, I have a special video message for you:
