Support Groups
Connect with other families in a warm, supportive setting
Support Groups
Family is the most influential factor in a young child’s life.
Supporting, coaching and encouraging caregivers is central to Clarke’s teaching philosophy.
At our Support Groups, families and caregivers come together with Clarke’s teachers of the deaf and early childhood specialists to talk about challenges; share stories; and receive practical advice in a caring space. Families can ask questions in a supportive environment, learn from others’ experiences and discover new strategies for fostering listening and speaking skills in their daily lives.
