The Center for Outreach Services at the Ohio School for the Deaf is announcing our First Parent Summit for Families of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children. We are looking for parent leaders and strong parent advocates to provide us with feedback regarding the Center's services and programs, along with feedback regarding all programs for families of deaf and hard of hearing children throughout the state. We are looking for parents/families with deaf or hard of hearing children between the ages of 3 and 21. Once parents are identified as leaders, they will be asked to complete an application to attend the summit. We will selecting 10 to 15 families to attend and there will be no cost to the parents selected to attend this summit. All expenses will be paid by the Center, including gas for travel expenses. Attached you will find more information regarding the summit; including a letter to you, the professional, and a letter to the parents, and the application. We are asking that you take a minute to identify the parent leaders in your area and distribute the application to each of them. This is a great opportunity for parents to be heard! Please encourage parents to apply. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your time and help! Tabitha Belhorn Parent Mentor, Ohio School for the Deaf 500 Morse Rd.
