Connecting Children & Families

The West Australian Foundation for Deaf Children (WAFDC) is dedicated to improving the lives of Deaf and hard of hearing children and their families

Evidence shows it is crucial for children who are Deaf and hard of hearing to connect with each other, learn new skills in resilience, and have role models who have been through similar journeys.

It is also important that parents, carers and other family members of children who are Deaf and hard of hearing connect with each other for support, guidance, mentorship and friendship.

The WAFDC’s Family Network Group is a group of over 500 families across WA with Deaf and hard of hearing children. We run events, programs and activities for the Family Network Group to assist in building connections and confidence as you follow your journey through the Deaf and hard of hearing pathway.
