Programs and Services:

Family Field Trips – Join us at the Zoo, Aquarium, Ala Moana Beach Park, and more! A chance to let out your inner child and play alongside your keiki. (Field Trips are currently on hold due to COVID-19 safety precautions.)
Family Sign Language Classes – Our family sign language classes are set up so families can learn together and immediately use what they learned with their deaf child.
Lending Library – The CSC Lending Library contains a children’s section of books with accompanying ASL videos, sign language course materials, games, interpreting, and a reference section on deaf culture.
Ohana Times – Partly sponsored by the Newborn Hearing Screening Program, these special quarterly gatherings include families, deaf mentors, and professionals from across the state to discuss a variety of topics.
Read to Your Deaf Keiki – Parents and caregivers are taught by deaf mentors to read with their child in ASL which leads to an increase in literacy, social, and emotional development.
Resources – The CSC collects resources from around the state and web to help support you and your child. But, we’re the first to admit, we don’t have everything. If you have a situation that you would like support with, contact our team and we will do our best to help you find that answers you need. You can reach us at csc@csc-hawaii.org or (808) 369-0049.

“The CSC is a refreshingly unbiased resource in Hawaii. Everything they do for our deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind families is done with an open-mind and a loving heart.” – Jennifer Clark, Early Intervention Deaf and Hard of Hearing Specialist
