Bilingual support for deaf* children and their families
We use deaf* to include deaf, hard-of-hearing, deafblind, deafened, and deaf/disabled people.
Montana Family ASL is a deaf-led organization that works to promote sign language acquisition and access for families with deaf and hard-of-hearing children throughout Montana and around the country. We work to prevent and remediate language deprivation in deaf and hard-of-hearing children by providing language instruction, parent coaching, advocacy, and other services in rural and/or underserved areas. Ultimately, we want to see deaf and hard-of-hearing children and their families be fluently bilingual in both ASL and English, with families raising children who are happy members of both the deaf and the hearing communities.
We offer in-person and online support for families with deaf* children who want to become bilingual in ASL and English. We’re excited to meet you!
Montana Family ASL supports deaf* children and their families in accessing the information and resources they need to become bilingual ASL/English families with strong ties to local and national deaf communities. We’re based in Montana but we’re thrilled to connect with families and resources wherever they are.
