Top Ten Burning Questions
When we created this website, Deaf Children Australia wanted to be sure we addressed what was most important to parents and caregivers of a child recently diagnosed as being deaf or hard of hearing. We published a survey inviting 500 participants and more than 70% of respondents were parents telling us what they most wanted to know, or worried about, when they first received their child’s diagnosis. Here are the top 10 responses we received, with some answers and links to other helpful resources.
