We look forward to the annual Success Leadership Camp for middle school students (April 25-27) and Success Horizon Camp for high school students (April 27-29) at the Hulbert Outdoor Center in Vermont! The middle school camp is now full at this time. There are several spots left for the high school camp. The cost is $150 per student. Scholarships are available upon request. Contact us at charlotte.mullen@childrens.harvard.edu or katie.mccarthy@childrens.harvard.edu if you are interested in receiving more details about the high school program.

Following the Success Leadership Camp, the middle school campers will host a fun Recreational Day on Saturday, June 7 for children ages 3-10, at the Weston Community Center in Weston, MA, in the early afternoon. Circle the date. More information will be forthcoming!

We will host the DEAFinitely Dance crew at Nevins Library in Methuen on Saturday, May 3 from 11:45 am - 1:15 pm! Join us for a fun day of hip hop, breakdancing, ASL games and activities. This event is open for deaf and hard of hearing children and siblings of all ages.  Lunch will be provided.  Please e-mail us with the total number of attendees and ages of the children. The flyer is attached in English and Spanish.

The Family Education and Advocacy Team (FEAT) at Boston Children's Hospital will be providing a youth to adult audiological care transition seminar for deaf and hard of hearing students and their families on Thursday, May 29 from 6:30 - 8:00 pm on Zoom. We will discuss the differences between pediatric and adult audiological care, transition planning and coordination, and tips for navigating health insurance with hearing technology.  The flyer is attached in English and Spanish.

We developed a communication guideline for students who are involved in sports and after-school activities. There are two separate guidelines – one for caregivers and one for coaches. The guidelines will guide coaches and other adults with best practices for communicating with deaf and hard of hearing children on and off the field, along with other teammates. Please share with families and coaches. We are open to your feedback as we continue to revise and align with your child’s experiences! To access these guidelines, along with other sports-related resources, please click the link to our shared Sports Resources folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WMEUi2dKc0W-YTdN-qBpvdsicbbkSzTf?usp=sharing
