We support Virginians of all ages who are deaf and hard of hearing that choose to pursue the option and outcome of listening and spoken language.  A fun and passionate group of parents, professionals, educators and adults who collaborate with the national AG Bell Association to develop programs, experiences and friendships that support our choice to ensure successful lives of our deaf and HOH family members, friends, clients and selves.

We hope to hear from you if you have questions, ideas or are looking for resources or a community to support you and your family on this hearing journey.  llp4n@virginia.edu

Our Mission

Working globally to ensure that people who are deaf and hard of hearing can hear and talk. 

We want all families to be informed and supported, professionals to be appropriately qualified to teach and help children with hearing loss, public policy leaders to effectively address the needs of people with hearing loss, and communities to be empowered to help their neighbors with hearing loss succeed.
