Vision and values

• deaf children and young people to achieve their true potential
• families to achieve the best outcomes for their deaf child.

Innovates

• world leading family centred services supporting deaf children and their parents
• new approaches to the development of effective communication within the family and other environments.

Challenges

• social attitudes which prevent deaf children from reaching their true potential
• governments to act where necessary.
  

We believe that:

• every deaf child has the right to the same opportunities as a hearing child
• every deaf child has the right to be included and valued by society
• families have the right to make informed choices together with their deaf child and for those choices to be implemented
• families have the right to clear and balanced information and support, delivered in a way that is accessible to them.
