Rhode Island Sign Language Initiative
Live in Rhode Island
Have a child who is deaf or hard of hearing aged 0-3
And are currently receiving services through an Early Intervention Program

Gallaudet Regional Center East will send a deaf or hard of hearing tutor into the family’s home once a week to work with the family. The goal of this program is to introduce family members to Sign Language, enabling them to communicate with their child at the earliest age possible.

The Gallaudet University Regional Center-East (GURC-East), hosted at Northern Essex Community College in Haverhill, Massachusetts, is one of Gallaudet’s four regional centers devoted to providing services, programs and resources for deaf and hard of hearing individuals and their communities.
