Irma Sanchez

Parent Mentor
I am the mother of 3 amazing young men, the ages of 25, 24 and 19 years, who happen to be Deaf. One thing I love about being a parent is passing my cultural and family traditions to my sons. I have been a Parent Mentor for 11 years. I love connecting with families and helping them see the unique journey they have been chosen to walk.

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.
