Sharing Your Child's Story to Improve Educational/Life Outcomes

Please email Faith Rosenshein Young for more information on upcoming Illinois Families Together events.

Project Reach needs your opinion to set priorities for communication systems and technology for the upcoming years. Could you please take this two minute survey?

Project Reach's 10/1/2022 Bushels of Fun event provided an opportunity for families to connect with other families of children with combined vision/hearing loss. Families learned some ASL signs with a DeafBlind mentor, enjoyed seasonal treats, a straw maze, a farm petting zoo, crafts, and fall photo fun, plus they had plenty of opportunities to practice new ASL signs with friends!

Beginning May 1, 2020 Project Reach will be posting Illinois specific information below. Previously posted information regarding initial COVID 19 posts, posts from March 2020 and from April 2020 have been archived and can be accessed by clicking these links: COVID 19 link, March 2020 link, April 2020 link.
