Take a listen to this engaging conversation with Lisa Kovacs.  Lisa is a parent and professional who has had over 21 years of experience parenting her own child as well as advocating and empowering other families who are on this journey.  Lisa gives us a peek into her own journey of raising a child who is deaf/hard of hearing and provides our listeners with thoughtful, reflective advice.  Lisa is also employed by the Hands and Voices organization which is a parent-driven organization that supports families with children who are deaf or hard of hearing with a motto of “what works for your child is what makes the choice right”.  Lisa is the current director of programs in which she provides support and oversight to the GBYS and ASTra programs, including start up support, as well as providing technical assistance and information coordination.  She is also the director of the FL3 program.
