Ohio Hands & Voices

Ohio Hands & Voices Dedicated to supporting families with children who are DHH without a bias around communication.

We began as a group of parents and professionals who were seeking change in the Deaf education system in Ohio. This group worked together to raise interest among family members, audiologists, speech therapists, teachers, early intervention specialists, and other professionals across the state. In 2009, we were honored to become an official chapter of Hands & Voices. Since that time we have continu

ed to raise awareness for our cause while increasing our membership, creating family events and supporting parents state-wide. Today, Ohio Hands & Voices is a network of parents, family members and professionals with a strong commitment to the deaf and hard of hearing education community. We serve those who use American Sign Language, spoken English, total communication, cued speech, cochlear implants, hearing aids and/or no hearing technologies from Ohio (and the rest of the nation). Ohio Hands & Voices is a safe place to explore options, get unbiased support, learn from one another and share common experiences. We value diversity and honor the role of parents and family as the single greatest factor in raising a well-adjusted, successful child.

FIFA World Cup is taking a major step toward accessibility by providing sign language interpretation for every match, including American Sign Language (ASL) and Mexican Sign Language (Lengua de Señas Mexicana, or LSM).

Beyond sign language access, fans will also benefit from audio-descriptive commentary for blind and low-vision spectators, sensory rooms and sensory bags, haptic devices that translate match action into tactile feedback, mobility assistance services, accessible seating, captioning, and enhanced accessibility features within the tournament app. Accessibility helps ensure more fans can experience the excitement of the world's biggest sporting event.
