WSDS offers local, regional, and state trainings throughout the year on topics relating to children and youths with hearing loss. See our Training Calendar for information on upcoming training opportunities.
WSDS, in cooperation with Washington School for the Deaf, Gallaudet University Regional Center at Ohlone College, and the Infant Toddler Early Intervention Program sponsors an annual weekend for families with children and teens who are deaf/hard of hearing. Families stay in cabins at the Lazy F Ranch outside of Ellensburg, attend workshops, and have a great time.

If you are a parent, you might simply want to talk with another parent on the phone, join a listserv to get information, borrow some videotapes or books, or be directed to some great websites. You might want information on training opportunities, or state or national conferences. Contact our Family Consultant or check our Resources section.
