]]> Auckland Parents of Deaf Children http://www.adcoss.org.nz/item/auckland-parents-of-deaf-children/ Tue, 29 Mar 2016 00:55:48 +0000 http://w2mhosting.net/adcoss/item/auckland-parents-of-deaf-children/ Auckland Parents of Deaf Children (APODC) is a group run by parents for families with a child with hearing loss. The child can be of any age and with any level of hearing loss or Deafness.

No matter what language and communication style is being used, everyone is welcome as we celebrate difference and diversity.

We understand that contact with other whanau and families who have similar experiences is very important. Parents can learn from each other and children can become confident in their own identity by being with other children who are “like them”.

Our purpose is to champion a better quality of life for hearing impaired and Deaf children and their families. We do this through:

providing information

advocacy

providing opportunities to meet and learn from others who have similar experiences

Membership fee is $20 a year. Any person with an interest in the welfare of Deaf or hearing impaired children is also welcome to join.

CSS has a long standing commitment to the wellbeing of people in our community.

Many of those we assist work against great odds to make positive changes for themselves and their families. We are privileged to work with them.

Many families ring our agency for assistance. We accept referrals from other social service agencies but ask that people contact us directly.

Our counselling and social work services are founded by values of responsiveness, care and professionalism.

We value our ability to respond to families regardless of their material circumstances.

The support we receive from a wide range of people and funding organisations enables us to respond as an agency. We greatly appreciate any donations people give to enable our work to continue.
