SUMMARY:Building Strong Home-to-School Partnerships for Families of Children who are DHH
DESCRIPTION:Building Strong Home-to-School Partnerships for Families of Children who are DHH\nJoin us for a special Back-to-School Parent Chat on August 20! \nThis interactive session provides an opportunity to connect with other families\, learn about school supports\, and discuss ways to ensure students have a successful school year. Parents will explore effective strategies for building positive partnerships and maintaining open communication with teachers\, interpreters\, and other school staff. We will share practical tips for supporting language development\, self-advocacy\, and learning—both at home and at school. Families will leave with new resources\, greater confidence\, and ideas for working collaboratively with their child’s educational team throughout the year. \nLearning Outcomes:  \n\nParents will identify at least three effective strategies for communicating regularly and collaboratively with teachers\, interpreters\, and other members of their child’s educational team.\nParents will understand the importance of sharing information about their child’s communication preferences\, hearing technology\, strengths\, and learning needs with school staff.\nParents will learn practical ways to support their child’s language\, literacy\, and self-advocacy skills at home while reinforcing school goals.\nParents will develop an action plan for establishing positive home-school partnerships that promote student success throughout the school year.\n\n\nParent Chats are designed and intended for parents/family members; we kindly ask that only parents/family members attend. \nFeatured Guest Speakers\n \nKelly Welch\, M.A. Ed.\, is a dedicated Teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (TODHH) and Department Team Lead for Denver Public Schools\, bringing three decades of passionate expertise to the field. With 30 years of experience—including 16 years on the Colorado Department of Education DHH Leadership Team—Kelly has worked across the full spectrum of educational settings\, having spent her early career as a center-based teacher before pivoting to an itinerant role 18 years ago. Certified to work with youth ages 3 to 21\, she supports students and families through every major milestone\, from early childhood Child Find evaluations and IFSP-to-IEP transitions\, to post-secondary planning and transition programming. Kelly is a fierce advocate for a child-led approach to education\, firmly believing that the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) must be tailored to the unique needs of each individual student. Guided by the philosophy that “it takes a village\,” she partners closely with families and multidisciplinary teams to ensure every child receives holistic\, meaningful support. When she is not teaching\, she enjoys spending time with her family & friends\, traveling and reading. \nTara Bauman\, Au.D.\, has over a decade of expertise in pediatric and educational audiology. She currently serves as an educational audiologist and senior lead for Denver Public Schools\, where she is entering her 10th year as a provider.

SUMMARY:LEAP - Learning Experience & Adventure Program
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our August 29th LEAP session. \nA virtual skill & friendship-building experience for Middle School students who are deaf and hard of hearing. \n\nDesigned just for middle schoolers\nMeet new friends with hearing loss\nVirtual games and skills – all online!\n\nMany teens who are deaf or hard of hearing and use Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) do not know another peer who also uses LSL. That’s exactly why LEAP was created. The Learning Experience and Adventure Program (LEAP) allows 6th-8th graders to connect with and learn from other teens who share their lived experiences. Plus\, LEAP is led and facilitated by adults who have grown up using LSL. How cool is that?
