WHAT IS DBC FLORIDA ALL ABOUT?

DEAF BABIES NEED YOUR HELP IN EDUCATING THE GENERAL PUBLIC WHICH INCLUDES PARENTS, TEACHERS, DOCTORS, AUDIOLOGISTS, SPEECH PATHOLOGISTS, AND LEGISLATORS. THOSE WHO HAVE FIRST CONTACT WITH NEW PARENTS HAVE A LOT OF INFLUENCE ON DEAF BABIES' LIVES.

FLORIDA IS IN NEED OF DEAF MENTORS FOR HEARING FAMILIES. THE STATE SYSTEM OF EARLY INTERVENTION IS NOT REACHING MANY FAMILIES AND EVEN THOSE WHO DO GET SERVICES ARE STILL NOT GETTING ACCURATE INFORMATION ON THE BENEFITS OF EARLY LANGUAGE ACQUISITION THROUGH AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE AND ENGLISH -- BILINGUALISM. WE KNOW THAT WHEN FAMILIES START OUT WITH ASL, THEY WILL DEMAND IT IN THEIR CHILD'S SCHOOLS. THIS IS HOW WE START TO MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN.

WHO BETTER TO EDUCATE THAN THOSE WHO ARE THE EXPERTS AND LIVE THE EXPERIENCE EVERYDAY!

FLORIDA IS A BIG STATE. WE NEED EVERYONE WORKING TOGETHER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
