🌟 Introducing Deaf Kids Connect! 🌟
Hi there! I’m Charlotte, and I’m thrilled to be creating a warm and welcoming group for parents of d/Deaf children in Worthing, West Sussex. Along with my husband Nick, we’ve navigated the ups and downs of parenting a deaf child over the past few years. Our amazing son was born with mild hearing loss, which has progressed to severe, and although we don’t have a diagnosis or know what the future holds, we are determined and hopeful. We’ve witnessed firsthand the incredible achievements of d/Deaf children, and we’re proud to be part of this vibrant community.
Now that our son is in a mainstream school, we understand how crucial it is for d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing children to feel represented and included. We want to create a space where our kids can come together to play, communicate, and connect with others who share similar experiences. It's also a safe haven for their hearing siblings to bond and support one another.
This group will be a supportive space for parents who have traveled this journey, where we can share our experiences, celebrate achievements, and lean on one another during tough times. Together, let’s navigate this unique world and forge lasting friendships!
We want to create a space with activities like role play, arts and crafts, sensory areas, ride on vehicles, puzzles, games and books for children to bond in shared activities whilst the parents and carers can drink tea and eat cake whilst sharing experiences, offering one another support and guidance. Our main aim is to develop friendships to create an amazing community.
