A Warm Welcome to Our Community

Minnesota Hands & Voices provides information, support, and referral to families at any point in their journey with their child who is deaf or hard of hearing, but especially for those families just starting on their path. If this is your first time visiting our website, start with these three categories for answers to general questions and an idea of what to expect.
