• work directly with families in need of the unique support that comes from someone else who has walked
the path him/herself
• can provide emotional support at the time of confirmation of a hearing loss, as well as provide a continuity
of support to families throughout the child’s life, especially at times of transition
• offer resources, information, encouragement, and an opportunity to network with other families
