- Family-centred Irish Sign Language (ISL).
Supporting parents and families of d/Deaf and hard of hearing children.
Welcome
Are you the parent of a d/Deaf or hard of hearing child? Whether your child is a newly identified toddler or a tech-loving teenager, Sharing the Journey can help.
We are an independent organisation established by parents of d/Deaf and hard of hearing children. Our goal is to provide information and support to other parents of d/Deaf and hard of hearing children, regardless of the communication, education and technological decisions they have made or will make for their children.
This means we will support you whether your child speaks or signs; whether he attends mainstream or special school; whether he has a cochlear implant or not. We welcome all parents and all children and strive to maintain a culture of mutual respect at all times.

Our promise to you
Making decisions is seldom easy. Every child is unique; every family is different. We support the right of parents to make choices that best suit their needs, and we welcome all parents and their d/ Deaf and hard of hearing children, regardless of those choices.
There are many twists and turns on the road of parenting a d/Deaf or hard of hearing child. At different times, you may need different levels of support. You may have questions that seem silly or problems that seem insurmountable. You may need a little reassurance in times of transition.
Whatever the case, we understand. We're parents of d/Deaf and hard of hearing children ourselves.
We're here to help you, whenever you need us, for as long as you need us.
