Navigate Life Texas: Resources for kids with disabilities and special needs
TEXAS GUIDE BY YOUR SIDE™ (GBYS) IS A FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAM THAT EMBODIES THE MISSION OF HANDS & VOICES, WHICH IS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT IN AN UNBIASED MANNER TO PARENTS/GUARDIANS WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING FROM BIRTH-21. Enroll on website (English or Spanish)
Guide By Your Side (GBYS) does this through specially trained parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. These parents work as “Guides” directly with families who have just learned of their child’s hearing condition, or who have older children and are in need of the unique support that comes from someone else who has walked this path him/herself and can share from direct experience and wisdom. GBYS programs can also include an option for Deaf/Hard of Hearing Guides (DHH Guides) who are adults who are deaf or hard of hearing and specially trained to provide support to families.
