We are dedicated to empowering children with invisible disabilities, particularly those who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, by raising awareness, equipping educators and communities with practical resources, and creating inclusive academic, athletic, clinical, and social environments where every child has the opportunity to be heard, understood, and thrive.
What Do We Do?
Through engaging presentations and practical training, the Hearo Project equips educators, clinicians, coaches, families, and communities with the tools to better support children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH). Drawing from personal experiences, we offer simple, actionable strategies to overcome everyday communication barriers and foster more inclusive environments in classrooms, at home, and on the field.
Not all disabilities are visible, but their impact can be profound. Children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing often face social isolation, misunderstanding, and exclusion simply because their needs go unrecognized. Through education and advocacy, the Hearo Project works to challenge misconceptions, encourage empathy, and build communities where every child feels understood, supported, and included.

One of the most common challenges Catholic schools face when serving children with disabilities is concern about having sufficient funding to welcome and support all students in their classrooms. Here, we have provided resources that may be helpful when seeking these funds.
Growing up with a brother who has hearing loss, I witnessed firsthand the challenges that children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH) often face in everyday life. From the classroom to the athletic field, activities that many take for granted can become barriers to participation, connection, and belonging.
These experiences inspired me to create the Hearo Project. I know how meaningful a resource like this would have been to my family during my brother's early childhood, and I hope to provide that same support to other children and families navigating similar challenges.
Through education, advocacy, and practical resources, the Hearo Project strives to bridge the gap between awareness and meaningful inclusion. By empowering educators, coaches, families, and peers with the tools to better understand and support children with hearing loss, we hope to create environments where every child feels heard, valued, and empowered to succeed.
