Early Healthy Communication

If you want to get a deeper understanding of how a Deaf mother raised her four boys, all with different sensory needs, Jodee Crace is the person to meet.  

The CSDB Outreach Department hosted a two-hour Family and Professional Education webinar titled “Early Healthy Communication within the Family= Happiness” with Jodee. 

Jodee shared her experience and expertise as a mother and early intervention educator.  She is very passionate about early intervention and ensuring that Deaf/Hard of Hearing children have access to communication.  The presentation focused on how one's journey influences their own path (beliefs, values and goals), a caregiver's approach with children and loved ones, and remaining positive during challenging or concerning situations. The workshop ended with individual reflection of being able to know how to project well-being towards self and others related to bonding, connectivity, trusting, communicating and resilience.
