Just found out your child is deaf or hard of hearing?
Being told your child has a hearing loss can feel overwhelming. You’re not alone in this journey. In fact, 90% of deaf children are born to hearing parents. Flying Colours understands the emotional and practical challenges of navigating a new world of diagnoses, appointments, and decisions. That’s why we’ve created the Early Diagnosis Booklet, a heartfelt resource designed with you in mind.
