We believe there is a gap in our children's language learning
Children who choose NZSL to communicate are often in a position where they are disempowered as they are given no recognition of their needs or choices. Policies often categorise people, which can disqualify them from a number of services offered. The Trust will provide support that crosses these boundaries and will cater for all families/whanau that choose to communicate with NZSL.
Our Dedication
Voice Thru Your Hands is dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL). Also to show through communication in NZSL, people are able to fully express themselves. This proves that it is a given right to all to be able to communicate or at least be given the different options.
Voice Thru Your Hands is also supporting families with children who choose to use New Zealand Sign Language as their mode of communication. We’re a parent-driven, non-profit organisation providing families with the resources, networks, and information they need to improve communication access and educational outcomes for their children. Our outreach programmes, parent/professional collaboration, and advocacy efforts are focused on enabling children to reach their highest potential.
