ASTra is an educational advocacy program that embodies the mission and vision of Hands & Voices. ASTra stands for the Advocacy Support and Training Program. We provide support to families with children who are deaf or hard of hearing (d/hh) without bias around communication mode, method, or educational setting so that every child has the opportunity to achieve their full potential. We foster collaboration and build partnerships with school districts and other professionals who serve deaf or hard of hearing students.
