Children in the deaf and hard of hearing community have some choices available to them just as adults do. Web sites, organizations, discussion lists, and publications all cater specifically to the children. However, compared to the large number of organizations for parents, teachers, and families, there seems to be a scarcity of things just for the kids alone.
