The Florida Coalition for Spoken Language Options (the "Coalition") doing business as Deaf Kids Can is a parent founded, driven, and led non-profit supporting the needs of families pursuing qualified listening and spoken language tools and services for their children with hearing loss. 

    Deaf Kids Can is, at its core, supportive of the right of parents and guardians to choose the communication mode best suited to meet the needs of their individual child, recognizing that there are many factors to consider and communication options. In focusing on the particular needs of families pursuing a listening and spoken language option, it is not our position that this is the best option for every child. It is, however, a particular area of need and the one that this not-for profit is organized to support.

     Deaf Kids Can works to facilitate and encourage collaboration between stakeholders and service providers to increase availability of and access to qualified services. Additionally, Deaf Kids Can provides parent mentoring, parent and public educational opportunities and resources on relevant topics, and facilitates an ongoing literacy program where participants complete literacy challenges and earn books and prizes mailed to their homes. Deaf Kids Can meets one on one, in groups, and via social media to proffer peer-to-peer, volunteer support to families throughout their child's journey.
