KPAHIC - Association for Parents of Children who are Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing
was founded in Johnson County, Kansas as a self-help group and not-for-profit organization to help educate families, the community and the education system about the needs of deaf and hard-of-hearing children, their parents and their siblings, and to advocate for programs and policies that meet both children's and families' needs.

Checkout Deaf Culture and Sign Languages of the Global Village created by two teenagers, Berna, a Norwegian girl who is deaf and Jeremy, a boy from the Kansas City area who is hearing. The site has some streaming video comparisons of American and Norwegian sign languages, and some information about sign language and deaf culture in China and Japan. This work was done for a scholarship competition called ThinkQuest. (Berna and Jeremy will appreciate your comments and help to get others - especially school children - to look at their site.)
