ABOUT US

Our goal is to form a comprehensive group of parents and professionals that work together to benefit children and families with children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

About Us

We are families with children who have all types of hearing loss.

We are deaf and hard-of-hearing adults.

We are professionals.

We are from every corner of the state of Arkansas.

We are united because we are Hands & Voices.

We use many different types of communication modes: Auditory Verbal, Auditory Oral, Cued Speech, American Sign Language, Signed English, Simultaneous Communication and Total Communication.

An Official Chapter

As an official chapter of Hands & Voices, Arkansas Hands & Voices has its own fully-functioning board of directors.

Our Mission

To provide Arkansas families with the necessary resources, networking, and information in order to improve communication access and educational outcomes for their children.

Making A Difference

Our statewide activities, advocacy efforts, and parent/professional collaboration are all focused on enabling our deaf and hard-of-hearing children to reach their fullest potential!

Community

Families within the same geographic region within the state can share experiences and information as they support each other.

OUR GALLERY

Six women pose and smile in front of a booth with a Hands & Voices banner. Three wear superhero T-shirts, and they stand in a gymnasium with black curtains behind them.
A silver pen rests on an open lined notebook next to a smartphone and a laptop on a white desk, all in black and white.
Two children in gray hoodies and gloves ice skate together outdoors, smiling as they glide across the rink. Other people skate and watch in the background. The scene is lively and bright.
A blurry, monochrome image featuring indistinct shapes that resemble leaves and a central flower spike, creating an abstract and soft-focus botanical scene.
Four children in swimsuits are laughing and playing with water buckets, splashing an adult outdoors on a grassy area with other people and trees in the background.
Three people smiling joyfully, their faces and clothes covered in vibrant colored powder, likely participating in a color run or festival.
Three smiling volunteers stand behind a counter, serving food wrapped in foil to people at a community event. The volunteers wear gloves and gray shirts, and the kitchen area has various food prep equipment.
