Deaf/Hard of hearing Plus
A Hands & Voices Headquarters Project
"D/HH Plus is meant to be a positive term, not in any way negative or insensitive to the child who has medical issues along with hearing loss. In fact, I see it as an “A+” or “B+,” meaning the child carries additional positive qualities. But it is a gift that needs to be carefully unwrapped. And it may not appear to be a gift when you first receive it. Time helps you appreciate, understand and unfold the possibilities. And the ‘Plus’ most often means the child and family have added responsibilities and requires additional expertise.”
