This is a support group and information clearinghouse for parents who are homeschooling deaf or hard-of-hearing children. Membership is restricted. (A short intro explaining your reasons for joining the list is required for subscription approval.)

Discussion of general homeschool issues will be permitted, but the focus of the list is on the particular challenges of homeschooling deaf and hard-of-hearing children, including IEP's, legal issues, and obtaining special ed services, as well as exploration of alternative educational approaches, presentation, and learning styles. All homeschool approaches are supported (from "school-at-home" to unschooling.)

Religious discussion will be terminated. It is fine to say that you are homeschooling for religious reasons, but further discussion is inappropriate.

Criticism of, or argument about, communication choices or cochlear implants will not be tolerated. This includes dogmatic statements in favor of a particular communication choice which might be offensive to those who've chosen another path for their child.
