Center for Advancement of NEXTGEN Deaf
Non-profitAt one of our core CANGD programs, ARCS, we provide advocacy supports to families with children who are Deaf and/or have hearing loss to help them navigate the Early Intervention, Preschool Transition, Special Education, Section 504, and other systems/processes designated to assist them. After a consult, we formulate a plan of action with the family to help ensure their child with hearing loss receives family-centered early intervention which aligns with their goals, a free & appropriate public education (FAPE), and accommodations, services, and supports which ensure effective communication access. When requested, we attend IFSP or IEP and other meetings with education & service provider partners. When necessary, we help families find special education & civil rights attorneys qualified to assist them. Our primary goal is to equip families to ensure children who are NEXTGEN Deaf have their unique needs, especially those related to the child's language, communication modality, and effective communication access appropriately met.
