Estela Camacho

Parent Mentor
I have worked for almost 20 years at Santa Clara County Office of Special Education (SCCOE) for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program. I have been a Parent Mentor since November 2019. I have two wonderful daughters, my youngest is deaf, educated, and independent. We use sign language as one of the ways we communicate. I also volunteer on the board of directors for Bay Area Community Health (BACH). My husband and I live in San Jose and enjoy hiking, cooking and reading.

We connect families with local school districts, Early Start home visit teachers, parent mentors, Deaf coaches, and other essential supports. Our comprehensive approach ensures every child has the opportunity to develop bilingual language skills and reach their full potential.
