My story

We want to publish stories and case studies written by individuals from all over the world who have had personal experience of childhood deafness.

We hope this section will provide opportunities for individuals (parents, children, young deaf people, volunteers) to share their experiences of childhood deafness.

Perhaps you are a parent of a deaf child or you are deaf yourself? Or perhaps you worked on a volunteering project with deaf children? Please tell us your story!
