About This Project
Summary
In partnership with children’s author Barney Saltzberg, we are proud to present a Family ASL Read-Along Series created especially for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing elementary students and families. These read-along videos offer a dynamic parent-child learning experience while strengthening literacy access for Deaf families. The videos are available to local and national organizations that provide services to children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. The videos are free and accessible to everyone.
Goals & Objectives
Students who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing often face systemic barriers to literacy and education due to a lack of accessible learning resources and long-standing biases in educational models. We believe every child deserves access to high-quality books and educational tools regardless of ability.
Results & Impact
A world where every child, including those who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing, has the literacy skills and educational opportunities needed to unlock their full potential. Gordon Philanthropies’ videos reached 1,000+ families through 19+ local and national organizations.
